Long Silk Tulle Evening Dress Pandora CA72 | Pleated Tulle Formal Gown | Cristallini

The Pandora CA72 carries its pleating like a second skin. Across the bodice, down through the skirt, each fold set by hand in a European atelier. The fabric shifts as you breathe, catching light in small moments. A pause between courses. A turn toward someone's voice. Nothing about the dress feels stiff or forced.

Burgundy deepens the effect. In soft light, the color pulls rich and warm. By a window, it almost glows. The dress does not change. The eye does.

A Silk Tulle Evening Dress With a Slit That Stays in Place

Italian tulle shapes the outer layer. 100% polyamide. That matters because polyamide holds a pleat. Silk, for all its beauty, would fall flat before the evening was half over. Underneath, silk satin lines the dress from bodice to hem. Smooth against the skin. Easy to forget about, which is the point.

A front slit breaks the skirt. It stays closed when you sit and opens a little when you walk. Nothing you need to worry about:

• A boned bodice with built-in push-up cups. This means you can leave the strapless bra at home

• Hand-pleated tulle running from bust to hem. There is no interruption here

• A hook and zip closure at the back. It is hidden and clean

• Burgundy as the featured shade, with six other colors available

Yellow shifts the mood entirely. Lighter, brighter, suited to spring ceremonies and daytime galas. Ivory walks close to bridal. Black pares the silhouette down to its essence. Pink, blue, and light blue round out the range, each one made to order in Europe.

Capes from codes CA82 and CA87 layer over the Pandora and are sold separately. Some women add one for the entrance. Others let the pleats stand alone.

The gown suits winter formals, black-tie weddings, holiday parties, and seated dinners. Occasions that call for presence without pretension. Browse our best sellers collection for more gowns our clients return to.
