A kaleidoscope of purple and lavender, Purple Watercolor unfolds in luminous silk with fluid depth and dimension. Three-quarter sleeves frame a refined silhouette, while a wide bow sash in reverse-contrast purple sculpts the waist with quiet, sculptural grace. The effect is romantic yet composed—brushstrokes of color rendered in couture form.
Cut for clean, elongating lines, the gown balances structure and flow: the bodice smooth and assured, the skirt releasing with measured ease to the floor. Tailored three-quarter sleeves provide coverage without weight, and the self bow sash anchors the composition with an artist’s sense of proportion. Fully lined and finished to atelier standards—hand-finished seams, invisible closure—the design highlights the print’s layered translucency on a luminous silk ground.
Every Gramercy gown is made bespoke, with pattern, proportion, and color tailored to honor the unique posture, shape, and event of its wearer.
Capturing the poetry of watercolor—layered, luminous, endlessly expressive—Purple Watercolor is ideal for weddings, galas, and formal celebrations where artistry and presence belong in equal measure. To begin your bespoke journey, inquire today—your sketches and swatches will be prepared as the first step toward bringing Purple Watercolor to life.
Technical Description & Construction
Silhouette: Classic A-line, fitted through the bodice and flaring from the natural waist into a full, floor-length hem. Universally flattering and effortlessly elegant.
Neckline: Refined bateau neckline sweeping across the collarbone, understated yet sophisticated.
Sleeves: Tailored three-quarter length sleeves — timeless, versatile, and appropriate across seasons.
Waistline & Sash: Bold contrasting sash in deep purple, tied into a large sculptural bow at the front. Creates a commanding focal point and dramatic color-blocking.
Functional Details: Seam-concealed side pockets for modern luxury.
Fabric: Duchesse satin or silk mikado, providing the body for structure, crisp pleats, and the luminous surface that enhances the watercolor effect.
Print & Patterning
Motif & Style: Impressionistic floral motif, deliberately evocative of watercolor painting, with soft edges and painterly brushstroke textures. Suggests lush roses or peonies in abstract bloom.
Placement: Engineered for balance. Denser florals concentrate on the lower skirt, while the bodice and sleeves feature lighter touches, ensuring harmony with the bold sash.
Color Palette & Seasonal Context
Scheme: Monochromatic spectrum of purple, from light to deep jewel tones.
Base: Cool, luminous lavender ground.
Florals: Violet, royal purple, and aubergine gradients create depth and richness.
Sash: Deep saturated royal purple, solid and commanding.
Effect: A regal, autumnal palette that shifts decisively from summer pastels to the jewel tones of the fall social season.
