Vontria pulls a classical Chantilly lace gown into modern territory through one defining choice: a deep basque waistline cut low enough to read as a two-piece silhouette. The lace is worked with hand-applied pearls and crystals throughout, dense enough to read as couture and catch light across every plane.

• Silhouette: Fitted with deep basque waistline
• Fabric: Pearl and crystal embellished Chantilly lace
• Waistline: Deep basque, dropped low to suggest a two-piece silhouette
• Embellishment: Hand-applied pearls and crystals throughout the lace
• Colors available: Buttercream and nude, buttercream and buttercream
• Designer: Yumi Katsura

Why we love it

The basque waistline is what makes this gown. Yumi Katsura treats deep basque construction as modern architecture rather than a historical reference, and the result reads as decidedly contemporary despite the traditional lace foundation. The buttercream and nude colorway is the one to see in person. The nude underlay gives the embellishment the kind of depth that tonal lace cannot match.

Style notes

Best suited for chapel, estate, and intimate ceremony venues where the embellishment can be seen at close range. Pair with statement pearl drop earrings and a soft, structured updo. A chapel-length veil in matching buttercream works for ceremony, removed for reception.
