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.
