The gown that launched a collection, Calabro is the centerpiece of Gramercy’s floral vision. Shown here in luminous coral silk, its surface blooms with an artful floral print that is at once radiant and refined. Three-quarter sleeves, easily adjusted for comfort, lend an air of relaxed sophistication, while the silhouette balances grace with quiet presence.
Cut in a classic A-line, the gown is lightly contoured at the bodice before releasing into a sweeping skirt that moves with ceremonial ease. The sleeves offer coverage without heaviness, and subtle tailoring shapes the neckline and shoulders with understated authority. Fully lined and finished to atelier standards, Calabro embodies couture integrity in every seam.
Every Gramercy gown is made bespoke, with pattern, proportion, and color tailored to honor the unique posture, shape, and event of its wearer.
A piece of origin and distinction, Calabro embodies the spirit of Gramercy Atelier—connection, reverence, and the transformative power of bespoke couture. To begin your journey, inquire today—your sketches and swatches will be prepared as the first step toward bringing Calabro to life.
Technical Description & Construction
Silhouette: Timeless A-line / ball gown silhouette. Fitted through the bodice and flaring into a full, floor-length skirt, it creates regal presence.
Neckline: Classic bateau neckline (boat neck), a wide, graceful line across the collarbone, evoking mid-century glamour.
Sleeves: Tailored three-quarter length sleeves, versatile and sophisticated for year-round formality.
Waistline & Belt: Sharply defined natural waist accentuated by a prominent self-fabric belt, finished with a tailored flat bow—structured without excess.
Skirt Construction: Floor-length skirt with deep inverted box pleats, sculptural folds ideal for displaying the large-scale floral print.
Fabric: Duchesse satin or silk mikado, chosen for body and low lustre, maintaining crisp lines in the neckline and skirt pleats.
Print & Patterning
Motif: The Wildflower Wonder botanical — painterly magnolia or dogwood blossoms with delicate branches.
Placement:
A single floral sprig at the shoulder and bodice, balancing the neckline.
Branches rising from the hem, arranged to flow naturally with the deep pleats of the skirt.
Negative Space: Solid coral ground ensures the florals breathe, creating refined elegance without clutter.
Color Palette & Seasonal Context
Base: Warm coral / peach ground, vibrant and luminous.
Florals: Powder blue, slate grey, and soft white blossoms.
Branches: Taupe tones for grounding.
Effect: A bold, contemporary pairing of warm and cool — coral’s vitality balanced with cool blue’s refinement. Particularly suited to transitional-season formals: coral nods to late summer warmth, while blue hints at autumn’s approach.
The Calabro gown is a statement of confident femininity. Its classic silhouette, paired with a daring color story, embodies both timeless elegance and refreshing modernity. As the gown that set the tone for an entire collection, it remains a memorable and sophisticated choice for a mother-of-the-bride or distinguished guest seeking presence, grace, and a touch of origin-story distinction.
