Poppy Gown | Basque Skirt

 The Poppy Gown is an exquisite couture two-piece. Pure silk chiffon is finely hand-embroidered with an intricate design of unfurling poppies, in shades of soft ivory and pale silver, rendered in glass beads, silk thread and hand-pleated tulle flowers, illuminated with tiny, scattered sequins. The straps are embellished with a delicate repeat of miniature poppies bordered with sequins and beads. The bodice edge and hem are edged with fine rows of beads and sequins. Slightly cropped, the Poppy Top reveals a sliver of skin at the waist.  A back closure of hooks and eyes is concealed with a row of small silk-covered buttons. 

The Poppy Basque Skirt is embroidered to the hip with the same motif, and the waistband is finished with a narrow border of sequined flowers. A circular flounce spreads out from the basque, forming a regal train. The skirt is closed by an invisible zip at the centre back.

Each Bo & Luca piece is carefully hand-beaded in India by artisans who are trained in the traditional art of tambour embroidery. Our silk is hand-dyed in loose-leaf white tea, which creates a characteristic soft ivory hue. All Bo & Luca gowns are made to order, and take 3-6 months to create.

The Poppy Top is close-fitting. The Poppy Basque Skirt is fitted to the hip. Both pieces are true to size.

This gown is made from pure silk chiffon and lined with Indian Satin.
