Custom Emerald Eve Gown | Apron Dress + Detachable Bodice | Pick Your Color & Fabric
Elegant, timeless, and designed completely around your vision, the Custom Emerald Eve Gown is one of Bentley + Lace's most versatile couture designs. Whether you're dreaming of a rich holiday jewel tone, romantic pastels, classic neutrals, or a completely custom color palette, this gown is handcrafted specifically for you.
Featuring a unique convertible design, the Emerald Eve transforms from a sophisticated ball gown into a charming vintage-inspired apron dress with the removable overskirt and detachable bodice. This allows you to create multiple looks from one couture piece, making it ideal for photographers, holiday portraits, editorial sessions, pageants, flower girls, mommy-and-me sessions, and special occasions.
The structured sweetheart bodice provides a flattering, couture silhouette, while detachable puff sleeves, delicate shoulder straps, and a dramatic full skirt create breathtaking movement and timeless elegance. Every gown is handcrafted using heirloom-quality fabrics and couture construction techniques that are made to be treasured for years to come.
Whether you're envisioning a magical Christmas heirloom, an elegant editorial piece, or a one-of-a-kind couture statement, we'll work with you to create a gown that's uniquely yours.
