A lyrical expression of poise and movement, Sonata is composed in luminous lilac silk—a visual symphony of balance and grace. The wrap-front silhouette flows in measured rhythm, its sculptural collar and fluid skirt echoing the quiet crescendos of a musical sonata. Romantic yet precise, it is a study in harmony: structure and softness held in perfect counterpoint.
The surplice bodice drapes with natural ease, framed by a gently turned collar that evokes both composure and intimacy. The self-fabric sash defines the waist in a single, effortless gesture, while the full A-line skirt releases into a subtle sweep train that moves like melody in motion. Every seam and proportion is tuned to refinement, allowing the design to breathe with elegance and composure. Fully lined and finished to atelier standards, Sonata embodies the serenity and polish of true couture.
Every Gramercy gown is made bespoke, with pattern, proportion, and color tailored to honor the unique posture, shape, and event of its wearer.
Created for moments of quiet radiance—weddings, evening galas, or gatherings that call for grace—Sonata captures the essence of modern couture: timeless in form, tender in spirit, and resonant in motion.
Technical Description & Construction
Silhouette:
Wrap-front A-line gown, softly structured through the bodice and waist before releasing into a full, floor-length skirt with a gentle train. Balanced between sculptural tailoring and fluid drape.
Neckline & Bodice:
Surplice bodice framed by a broad standing collar, folding open to a flattering V-neckline. The wrap construction elongates the torso and enhances natural proportion.
Sleeves:
Sleeveless for clarity of line; armholes cut for graceful openness without exposure.
Waist & Sash:
Wide self-fabric sash at the natural waist, tied softly to one side with trailing ends that emphasize verticality and movement.
Fabric:
Silk satin or silk mikado—chosen for its luminous sheen, crisp hand, and ability to hold shape while moving fluidly. Fully lined with couture finishing throughout.
Color Palette & Seasonal Context
Base:
Soft lilac—refined, luminous, and serenely modern.
Accents:
Subtle tonal variation within the silk weave adds quiet dimension, creating a play of light reminiscent of layered musical notes.
Effect:
A palette of restraint and sophistication. Lilac’s cool undertone suits spring and early-summer formals, while its gentle glow transitions seamlessly into late-season evening wear. Under low light, the gown radiates a silvery lavender hue that feels both classic and contemporary.
Investment & Couture Process
Sonata is priced at $4,750, which includes your custom pattern, an 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 Sonata representing the essence of understated luxury—elegant simplicity executed with masterful detail.
All of this is completed through our white-glove remote process, allowing you to experience true couture without the need for travel.
Sonata is a meditation on movement and light—a gown that speaks in quiet rhythm rather than volume. Architectural in form, lyrical in spirit, it embodies the timeless dialogue between grace and discipline, leaving an impression that endures long after the final note fades.
