Bluebirds – Powder Blue Surplice A-Line Gown with Stand Collar (AA-110)
A vision of serenity and harmony, Bluebirds takes flight in luminous powder-blue silk–wool. The gown’s surplice neckline and belted waist shape a graceful, feminine silhouette, while the custom print reveals Audubon-inspired birds in motion. Like wings caught mid-flight, the design carries a sense of quiet freedom and elegance.
Cut with soft architecture, the gown balances fluid drape with tailored definition. The surplice bodice frames the neckline in sculptural lines before tapering into a belted waist, while the skirt releases into a flowing A-line that moves with lightness and ease. The avian motif is carefully engineered, allowing each bird to appear in natural rhythm across the fabric’s expanse. Fully lined and finished to atelier standards—hand-finished seams, invisible closure—this design exemplifies couture integrity.
Every Gramercy gown is made bespoke, with pattern, proportion, and color tailored to honor the unique posture, shape, and event of its wearer.
Intended for daytime celebrations and refined garden gatherings, Bluebirds captures the spirit of renewal and poise—soaring effortlessly from wedding mornings to the most meaningful of occasions. To begin your bespoke journey, inquire today—your sketches and swatches will be prepared as the first step toward bringing Bluebirds to life.
Technical Description & Construction
Silhouette: Dramatic A-line / ball gown silhouette with a structured overskirt panel or watteau-style train, creating a regal, floor-sweeping profile.
Neckline & Bodice: Sculptural stand collar flowing into a surplice V-neckline—an architectural hybrid that frames the face while sculpting the torso.
Sleeves: Sleeveless, with cleanly cut armholes that emphasize the gown’s structural lines.
Waistline & Details: Wide, clean-finished waistband defines the natural waist; seam-concealed side pockets offer modern luxury.
Fabric: Duchesse satin or silk mikado, chosen for body and lustre to support the collar, overskirt, and engineered print.
Print & Patterning
Motif: Chinoiserie-inspired aviary, painterly bluebirds perched among delicate branches. Evocative of Audubon’s ornithological illustrations or hand-painted silk panels.
Placement:
Motifs rise organically from the hemline of the skirt and train, guiding the eye vertically.
Smaller sections placed at the bodice enhance the surplice neckline without clutter.
Asymmetrical arrangement heightens the naturalistic feel of birds and branches.
Negative Space: Expanses of powder-blue silk frame the print, ensuring it reads as wearable art.
Color Palette
Base: Serene powder / celeste blue ground, luminous and airy.
Birds: Rendered in sky blue, cerulean, and deep indigo with soft grey and white highlights.
Branches: Warm earthy tones of gold, ochre, and soft brown provide contrast and depth.
Effect: A palette that balances cool serenity with warm accents, alive with dimension and harmony.
The beauty of Bluebirds lies in the tension between its elements: the rigid, architectural tailoring of the stand collar is softened by the painterly freedom of the aviary print. Confident, cultured, and unforgettable, it is a gown designed for discerning individuals who wish to embody grace in motion at premier formal events.
