Essential Mini

Solene

From $3,900· made to your measurements

The shortest dress in the collection and the easiest place to begin: a sharply cut mini with a soft off-shoulder neckline, and two chiffon panels knotted at the shoulders that fall past the hem into a sweep on the floor. Untie them and it becomes the dress you dance in.

A minimalist bridal mini dress with an internal corset structure and an open shoulder line. Soft draping across the bodice contrasts with a clean, fitted skirt. Long flowing panels extend from the shoulders, adding movement and offering a modern alternative to a traditional veil.

Ideal for an intimate ceremony, courthouse wedding, reception, or second bridal look.

Start with Solene

Takes you to a four-question brief with this model already attached. Visualisations are Aleksandra's own design drawings; your dress is cut for your body, in the fabric you choose.

How your Solene would be made

Nothing here is pulled off a rail. Choosing Solene starts the work: a pattern drafted from twelve of your measurements, then a toile in cheap cloth to check the shape before the crepe or wedding satin is cut. Fittings happen at the Tampa studio, or on camera if you are anywhere else. This one takes about 16 hours in the studio, spread over five to six months.

Fabric moves the price more than anything else, so swatches go out to you before a single piece is cut. The skirt length, fabric, and length of the shoulder panels can be customized.
