Emmeline Gown in Ivory Silk Dupioni with Blue Silk Dupioni Sash

Emmeline Gown in Ivory Silk Dupioni with Blue Silk Dupioni Sash

$1,680.00

Effortlessly elegant and designed to move beautifully, this silk dupioni gown combines timeless sophistication with a touch of modern romance.

The fitted bodice features a graceful boat neckline in front and a flattering scoop back, creating an elegant frame for the face and shoulders. Expertly tailored through the bodice for a refined silhouette, the gown flows into three full tiers that create movement, dimension, and a sense of occasion with every step. Fully lined for comfort and structure, the skirt is designed to twirl beautifully on the dance floor while maintaining its polished shape.

A dramatic long silk sash in soft blue adds a distinctive finishing touch. The sash can be tied in a variety of ways—from a classic bow to a more relaxed knot—allowing you to personalize the look for your event. Prefer a different accent color? The sash may be customized in a variety of silk dupioni shades upon request.

Finished with a concealed back zipper for a smooth fit, this gown is equally at home at weddings, rehearsal dinners, garden parties, and special celebrations where elegance never goes out of style.

Do I need to make an appointment to come into the store?

If you are interested in event wear for a specific occasion, we highly recommend making an appointment with us so we can assist you with finding the perfect outfit for the event, ensuring the proper fit and advising you on fabric selection.
To reserve your private atelier appointment, please click on the “Reserve Your Atelier Appointment” tab and select your preferred date and time.

I do not typically buy tailored clothing, what is the best way to determine my size?

Our garments tend to fit more like “tailored” clothing since most of our items are made from 100% cotton, taffeta, or silk which offer little stretch. As a result, our sizing may be less forgiving compared to clothing made with knit fabric or spandex. Please take your body measurements at the bust, waist, and hips and compare with our size chart to find your best size. We have a number of sample sizes available to try on should you visit our shop.

Is my bra size equivalent to my bust size on your size chart?

No, please do not use your bra size to determine your bust measurement. To measure your bust, run the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, and up around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should just skim the bra in front.

Do you custom make the dress to my measurements?

We do not custom make the dress to your measurements, rather, we can use your measurements to help you select the best fit within our size range. If you need assistance choosing your perfect fit, please reserve a virtual atelier appointment and we will happily assist you!
We are pleased to offer alteration services at our atelier for our made-to-order gowns. We will advise you of the estimated cost for alterations when your order is placed in the atelier.

How far in advance of my event should I place my order?

For event wear, we recommend placing your order 3 months in advance to ensure your item is done in time. If timing is a concern, please reach out to our team who will be happy to help. Expedited orders may be possible for a fee.

Can you custom make me a dress?

While we strive to provide a diverse selection to cater to various preferences, we do not offer fully custom-made dresses. Our focus is on delivering high-quality dresses that showcase timeless elegance. All styles are created in-house from sketch to muslin mock-up to exclusive patterns which are graded for our full size range.
If you’re interested in commissioning a custom wedding or family toile, please reach out to susan@shopsusanalbright.com for consultation and pricing.

Do you sell your fabric?

We do not sell our fabric on its own. Our fabric (with digitally printed signature prints and colors) is just as integral to a Susan Albright creation as the pattern, and until the two are put together by our skilled seamstresses, it is not a finished product available for purchase.

We have a number of sample sizes available to try on should you visit our shop.

Is my bra size equivalent to my bust size on your size chart?

No, please do not use your bra size to determine your bust measurement. To measure your bust, run the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, and up around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should just skim the bra in front.

Do you custom make the dress to my measurements?

We do not custom make the dress to your measurements, rather, we can use your measurements to help you select the best fit within our size range. If you need assistance choosing your perfect fit, please reserve a virtual atelier appointment and we will happily assist you!
We are pleased to offer alteration services at our atelier for our made-to-order gowns. We will advise you of the estimated cost for alterations when your order is placed in the atelier.

How far in advance of my event should I place my order?

For event wear, we recommend placing your order 3 months in advance to ensure your item is done in time. If timing is a concern, please reach out to our team who will be happy to help. Expedited orders may be possible for a fee.

Can you custom make me a dress?

While we strive to provide a diverse selection to cater to various preferences, we do not offer fully custom-made dresses. Our focus is on delivering high-quality dresses that showcase timeless elegance. All styles are created in-house from sketch to muslin mock-up to exclusive patterns which are graded for our full size range.
If you’re interested in commissioning a custom wedding or family toile, please reach out to susan@shopsusanalbright.com for consultation and pricing.

Do you sell your fabric?

We do not sell our fabric on its own. Our fabric (with digitally printed signature prints and colors) is just as integral to a Susan Albright creation as the pattern, and until the two are put together by our skilled seamstresses, it is not a finished product available for purchase.

Huntington and Overskirt in Ivory Silk Dupioni

Huntington and Overskirt in Ivory Silk Dupioni

$2,820.00

Designed for the bride who values timeless elegance over trends, the Huntington Bridal Ensemble pairs our signature silk dupioni shirtdress with a dramatic pleated overskirt for a look that is both sophisticated and effortlessly refined.

Crafted in luminous ivory silk dupioni, the Huntington Dress features a graceful shirt collar, flattering three-quarter sleeves, and a softly sculpted A-line silhouette that skims the body beautifully. Pearl buttons extend the length of the gown, adding understated bridal detail, while the fully lined construction ensures exceptional comfort and impeccable drape.

The coordinating overskirt transforms the dress into a truly memorable bridal statement. Thoughtfully pleated to create volume without bulk, it is designed to flatter the mature figure by elongating the silhouette and creating elegant movement with every step. The overskirt is lined in pale blue silk—a subtle and meaningful “something blue” hidden within the design.

For versatility throughout your celebration, the ensemble includes an ivory silk sash that can be worn with the dress alone after the overskirt is removed. The result is two distinct looks in one: a dramatic ceremony gown and an elegant reception dress.

Perfect for intimate weddings, garden ceremonies, coastal celebrations, and second marriages, the Huntington Bridal Ensemble embodies modern grace, timeless craftsmanship, and the confidence that comes from wearing a gown designed to flatter a woman at every stage of life.
