The Bennett Strapless Gown with Off the Shoulder Topper

The Bennett Strapless Gown with Off the Shoulder Topper

$2,600.00

Step into timeless elegance with this breathtaking strapless evening gown in a luminous shade of shimmering green silk. Expertly crafted with luxurious attention to detail, this dress features a flattering crescent neckline that beautifully frames the décolletage, while internal stays provide perfect support and structure to the bodice.

The skirt flows gracefully with inverted box pleats that create beautiful movement and volume, finished with a weighted hem for a smooth, polished drape that moves effortlessly with you. The fabric is a rich, shimmering green silk woven with subtle gold and blue threads, giving the gown incredible depth, dimension, and a captivating color-shifting quality under light. Also offered in Navy or Fuschia Silk.

Paired with a romantic off-the-shoulder topper in delicate tulle, hand-embroidered with intricate floral appliqués and accented with tiny gold sequins that catch the light with every movement. The topper adds a touch of ethereal glamour while remaining easy to remove for a clean strapless look. Topper also offered in silk dupioni.

Fully lined and interlined for comfort and longevity, this gown is a true work of art — beautifully made from the highest quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

Made to order. Please allow 8–10 weeks for your dress to be crafted especially for you.

Perfect for galas, weddings, formal events, or any occasion where you want to feel radiant and unforgettable.

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.

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.
