Feminine Dresses |
We draw much of our inspiration from beloved vintage and antique dresses we've been fortunate enough to have come across. Most often we take these pieces and alter the fit and details for modern wear so they serve as an homage to the past but our uniquely Atèlette. Many of our dresses utilize deadstock or feature our own antique and vintage reproduction prints.

About Atèlette
Founded by self-taught designer and vintage purveyor Rodellee Bas, Atèlette was born from a lifelong reverence for history, art, and the beauty found in heirlooms. Rooted in old-world romance and a dedication to craftsmanship, the brand reflects a slower way of creating, where piece is a quiet love letter to the past, lovingly crafted with earth-conscious materials and vintage inspired details. Since its debut in 2022 with a small collection of dresses, Atèlette has quietly grown into a sustainable womenswear label known for poetic silhouettes, antique-inspired prints, and thoughtfully chosen materials. Soon, our world will expand beyond clothing to include antiquities and objects, both new and old, each chosen to complement the world of Atèlette.
