DOME DRESS
Our Look 1 from the Spring/Summer 25 Collection is crafted from Italian tulle in a creme butter color. It features a sheer, sleveless top and a full layered skirt gathered into a hand-smocked panel at the waist. The waist panel creates a voluminous skirt. This technique of stitching flat onto densely gathered fabric maximises volume while adding intricate texture.
Luisa et la Luna Studio uses traditional hand-smocking techniques. The fabric lengths are cut by hand and then hand-rolled onto doweling poles, which are carefully threaded through a machine that creates the right tension and turning technique are used to create perfect pin lines in the densely gathered panels. These manual vintage machines were originally designed to work on small squares of fabric. However, Luisa et la Luna saw their potential and has developed the exacting technique that is integral throughout this collection special technique's designs.
Each piece in the SS225 Collection is one of a kind, crafted by skilled makers in our Luisa et la Luna atelier. Designed where each item reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
