Bernice Basque & Maude
$4990 AUD
This stunning, modern basque waist ballgown will have jaws dropping and heads turning. The Bernice Basque & Maude is truly a dream come true.
The Bernice Basque is a gorgeous corseted scooped bodice, made with luxurious mikado fabric. The basque waist line elongates the torso, and shows off your waist in the most delicious way. The scooped neckline shows off your décolletage, while the seam lines draw the eye toward your waist. The Bernice Basque is fully boned for support and shape, so you won’t have to worry about adjusting all night long. Add our new bow straps for extra support and detail, and opt for either a button back or lace up closure to further customise your look.
The Maude Skirt is simplicity meets grandeur. With her almost seamless look, partnered with a moldable crinoline layer, you will look effortless and refined all at the same time. The volume of this skirt allows for stunning twirls, without the need of a hoop skirt.
Due to the design of the bodice on this modern basque waist ballgown, it remains separate from the skirt. Allowing you to change into a mini skirt, or even our Martha Pants to dance the night away!
The Bernice Basque & Maude is perfect for Garden Weddings or stately venues. Perfect for the bride who loves simplicity but with all the drama.
Styling Your Gown
The Bernice Basque & Maude can be styled in many ways. We love a simple veil like the Honor or Lucienne. We’ve added our Evie Wrap to one of our pictures here to show you even more ways to spice up your style!
We love Amelie George for the best wedding jewelry!
