Tess

Tess is a lace mermaid gown that achieves its distinction through the density and character of its lace — a construction where the textile is indistinguishable from the design.

The high mock-neck collar in lace rises cleanly from the shoulder, framing the throat in the same intricate botanical lace pattern that covers the entire gown from neck to hem. Long fitted lace sleeves follow the arm precisely to the wrist. The mermaid silhouette is tight and fitted through the torso, hip and thigh — the lace pattern following the body's contours without interruption. At mid-thigh, a subtle flare begins, the skirt expanding gently into a cathedral train that spreads behind the model.

The lace itself is the dominant visual element: a large-scale botanical or floral motif in a tone-on-tone ivory that is visible at every distance. No secondary embellishment intervenes. The nude lining visible through the lace creates depth beneath the pattern.

Hand-crafted in Innocentia's European atelier. All-over large-scale botanical lace, high mock-neck collar, long fitted sleeves, nude lining, fitted mermaid with flared hem, cathedral train.
