The effortless grace of a sloping V-neck is echoed in the fluttering sleeves and hem on this black midi dress. A layer of semi-sheer tulle is draped over the skirt for a sense of ethereal movements, falling gracefully to just below the knee. Hand-sewn gold embellishments in contouring geometric patterns elevate the relaxed shape, allowing it to transition seamlessly from cocktail to evening.

Inspired by Art Deco architecture, the Viola Story is rich in classic Temperley craftsmanship and designed for subtle, yet striking, elegance.

Responsibility

May we help?

Process

Temperley prints are painstakingly hand-painted in-house. Motifs are collaged onto the body then lovingly engineered into compositions that work in harmony with the garment’s panelling, ensuring the printed fabric flows flawlessly across seam joints when the garment is constructed. The process is both meticulous and spontaneous, with an outcome that is truly unique and artisanal.

Materials

Committed to creating unique and original textiles, the Temperley team designs lace and woven fabrics in-house at our atelier, which are then crafted by our trusted partners at expert mills across the globe. We utilise best quality Italian tulle, soft and sheer, perfectly structured with a flawless drape. Another staple material includes luxurious silk, woven to create a lustrous effect, with a smooth and radiant finish, perfect for eveningwear.

Our Atelier

Imagined by our team at the creative hub and beating heart of the brand, our atelier in Somerset — infusing a bohemian spirit, intrinsically woven into the pieces, the exquisite craftsmanship, blending modern techniques with artisanal mastery.
