Oh my! (Or should I say ooh la la!?) I do believe I just want to live in a Claire Pettibone creation forever!

Inspired by the luxury and intricacy of late 18th Century France with it’s antique gold, tapestries and French toile, her gowns feature empire designs, luscious lace detailing, illusion necklines, breathtaking back detailing and languid layers all in watery nymph-like pastel fabrics.
