Ada Lovelace Dress Chambray with Berries and Cream Hand Smocking
Named after the first lady of maths, the sum is greater than the parts in this Christmas edition of our Ada Lovelace Dress. Crafted from an opulent ruby silk-velvet, this show-stopping frock is a rare treasure, made in very limited quantities due to the extraordinary skill and time needed to honeycomb smock the delicate, flowing silk fabric, a feat which can only be done by our most experienced artisans.
Inspired by the world’s first computer programmer, daughter of poet Lord Byron, the exquisite Bishop Smock neckline is hand stitched in shimmering gold and cream threads, gathering the flowing silk fabric into a supremely glamorous yet comfortable A-line silhouette featuring a delicate frill neckline, keyhole opening, dramatic blouson sleeves, richly smocked cuffs, and a detachable sash.
Together, these elements create a quintessential Christmas gown that simultaneously celebrates heritage, craftsmanship, and holiday sparkle.
