Collection: VONTIER DE MONTIER

The VONTIER DE MONTIER look

Applique is the house technique. The Iris Applique Mini Dress is a sheath cocktail dress covered in hand-applied iris florals, sequins and beads. The Zaria Applique Mini Dress is an A-line cocktail dress with dense mixed embellishment, and the Cordelia Applique Mini Dress adds crochet and tassels for resort evenings. At full length, the Sereia Applique Maxi Dress carries bead, sequin and applique work from bodice to hem, the Lyra Chain Maxi Dress sets bead and chain embellishment on a deep V-neck sheath, and the Sol Fringe Maxi Dress finishes a sweetheart sheath with fringe. The Calypso Draped Maxi Dress is the quietest gown, a sleeveless A-line with a sweetheart neckline and draped construction.

The two-piece work is distinctive. The Iris Applique Set is a cropped jacket and mini skirt in pastel multicolored tweed with pearl-like buttons and defined shoulders; the Lucinda Applique Set is the ivory version with floral appliques. The label also makes ao dai: the Lamé Applique Ao Dai Set is a halter-neck tunic in lamé with hand-applied applique, and the Papillon Applique Ao Dai Set is an A-line halter set with beads, sequins and ribbons. The Dawn V-Neck Cape and the Kiran High Neck Cape are made to layer over the matching Dawn Fringe Mini Dress and Kiran Applique Mini Dress.

When to wear VONTIER DE MONTIER

Customers buy these pieces for cocktail parties, anniversary dinners, bridal after parties and bachelorette evenings, and the gowns as wedding guests. The ao dai sets are the choice for weddings and formal cultural occasions. For Gulf customers who want coverage, the capes over their matching mini dresses and the floor-length Sereia and Calypso gowns are the pieces to look at; the halter and deep-V styles are for evenings where that is not a concern.

How does VONTIER DE MONTIER fit?

Sheath pieces are fitted and should be ordered by measurement, allowing for the weight of embellishment. The A-line minis and the Calypso gown release from the waist and are easier between sizes. The tweed sets have defined shoulders and a cinched waist, so go by shoulder and waist measurements. Ao dai tunics are cut long and slim; check the finished length against your height.
