Deceptively simple beaded lace and fluid, bias cut satin was cut to create perfect elegant columns punctuated with details highlighting the shoulders and waist. A clever use of gloss and matt saw a play on textures adding further interest and subtle contrast whilst bolero style lace jackets and hints of delicate pastel colours in lilac, oyster, peach and old
