How it is made
Bias-cut crepe in our house mint, side slit.
Mint is the colour of the house, and this is where it lives most quietly. Cutting on the bias means the cloth runs diagonally across the body, so it falls with weight and stretches just enough to sit without a zip pulling. The side slit is set high enough for steps at a Lekki rooftop and low enough for a church aisle.
Every piece carries a woven label with the initials of the person who finished it and the date it left the studio.

Questions about this look
Does bias-cut crepe crease?
Very little. Hang it overnight and the creases fall out by themselves.
Can I wear it as a bridesmaid set?
Yes. We have dressed bridal parties of up to twelve in this column, each fitted separately.
Is there a black version?
Yes, at the same price. Ask at your fitting.
