Pre-order: the first Aurelle gowns are being made now. The photos show the design; yours is embroidered by hand from the same sketch.
Aurelle is our first gown, in two pieces: a midnight-navy corset that ties at the back, worn over a draped gown with one pleated strap over the shoulder. Antique-gold vines are embroidered by hand up both front panels of the corset and open into navy flowers filled with tiny beads, with a deep V cut into the neckline. Below the corset's pointed waist, the gown is gathered at the centre front and falls into a fishtail that pools at the floor. The ties let you adjust the fit a little on the day. Made for a cocktail night, a sangeet, a reception or a black-tie evening.

Caring for hand-work
- Dry clean only, and tell your cleaner the piece is hand-embroidered so the zardozi, sequins and pearls are handled gently.
- Never soak, wring or machine wash it.
- Iron on the reverse on a low heat with a cotton cloth in between, and never press straight onto the embroidery.
- Store it folded in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, never in plastic, away from damp and direct sunlight.
- Heavily embroidered pieces keep their shape best folded rather than hung.
- Keep perfume and deodorant off the embroidery, as they tarnish metallic thread, and put jewellery on after dressing so nothing snags.
- Every few months, air it and refold it along different lines so the creases don't set.
