THE BRIDAL ROBE

The bridal robe we're talking about today isn't the kind you put on when you're surrounded by your bridesmaids, makeup artist, and hairdresser before the ceremony. That kind deserves a post of its very own. These bridal robes and hybrid kimonos are garments that match or complement the gown you wear underneath. It's a separate piece with enough drama to make an entrance into the ceremony and can be doffed (if you want) post-nups for the after-party. Most of the appeal of this style is its convertibility. The robe can be long with a full train, mid-length, or a jacket-like top that dips low in the back. The underdress is usually a simple design, such as a slip dress or an evening gown silhouette. Above and below are robes so light and sheer when worn, you'd swear some are one-piece dresses.

Looks stunning worn over a strapless ball gown, clasped with a navy-and-gold cameo that gives it a unique touch. Below: PICCALINA. A Chantilly lace rose and leaf motif border length, hem and sleeves.  This kimono-like delicate robe is worn over a crepe slip dress with a sweep train.

Above: The SERAPHINA blouse-jacket in lightweight tulle paired up with a Chantilly lace slip dress.  Particularly beautiful are the bias-cut neck and arm ruffles, accented with lace-cutout roses. Below: ADRIEL. A tulle and ivory lace jacket with long bell sleeves bordered in a delicate Chantilly lace. This confection is worn over a crepe slip dress with a sweep train.
