Dogwood is a meditation on poise—floral, but never fragile. Rendered in a luminous silk jacquard, its pale blossoms emerge with sculptural clarity against a darker ground, like petals caught in quiet suspension. The effect is deliberate and composed: beauty disciplined by structure, softness anchored by intention. This is femininity with backbone.
The silhouette is fluid yet controlled, skimming the body with tailored precision before releasing into graceful movement. The fabric carries its own architecture—substantial enough to hold form, supple enough to move with ease. There is no excess here. No overt ornamentation. The drama comes from proportion, from restraint, from the way light plays across the woven surface as the wearer moves through space.
Dogwood is finished with Gramercy’s hallmark atelier craftsmanship: hand-set seams, invisible closures, and engineered pattern placement that honors both the body and the motif. Fully lined and balanced for comfort, it is a gown designed not just to be seen, but to be worn with confidence and calm authority.
As with every Gramercy creation, Dogwood is made bespoke. Pattern, proportion, and detail are refined specifically for the wearer—her posture, her presence, her moment.
Created for ceremonies of meaning and evenings that carry weight, Dogwood embodies reverence and connection. It does not announce. It endures.
Technical Description & Construction
Silhouette
Elegant column-to-soft-flare silhouette, gently contoured through the bodice and hips, releasing into fluid movement for a long, uninterrupted line.
Neckline
Refined bateau or softly contoured neckline (adjustable in bespoke), framing the collarbone with quiet sophistication.
Sleeves
Elbow-length or three-quarter sleeves, offering balance, coverage, and timeless polish.
Waist & Structure
Lightly defined waist through internal shaping rather than overt seams, maintaining a clean, elongated profile.
Fabric
Luxury silk jacquard with dimensional floral weave. Structured yet supple, with a subtle sheen that catches light without glare.
Print & Patterning
Motif
Stylized botanical florals inspired by dogwood blossoms—graphic, balanced, and architectural rather than romantic.
Texture
Woven relief creates depth and movement, with raised elements that give the surface tactile richness.
Scale
Moderate-to-large scale placement, engineered to elongate the figure and preserve visual harmony across the gown.
Color Palette
Ground
Deep, nuanced base tone—rich and grounding, chosen to elevate the floral motif without overpowering it.
Motif
Soft ivory, pearl, or pale champagne tones, lending luminosity and contrast with restraint.
Effect
A palette that reads refined and ceremonial—light against depth, elegance without excess.
Investment & Couture Process
Dogwood is priced at $5,250, inclusive of your custom pattern, at-home prototype fitting, and full couture construction in our New York atelier. Within the Calabro Collection, most gowns range from $4,500 to $6,500, with this design distinguished by its intricately woven jacquard sourced in limited quantity.
The entire experience is completed through our white-glove remote couture process, allowing you to engage in true bespoke craftsmanship without travel.
A study in balance and authority, Dogwood pairs botanical elegance with architectural discipline. It is a gown for black-tie ceremonies, formal weddings, and moments where grace is expected—and composure is remembered.
