Iris Hand-Smocked Silk-Taffeta Dress

Cawley Studio founder Hannah Cawley and her mother hand-smock the straps of this white Iris dress with cotton thread, creating a fascinating sense of texture using a time-honoured technique. It's crafted by the pair in London from crisp silk taffeta, to a loose shape with a gathered waist for added volume, then finished with slender ties at the back. Add flat shoes for a charming wedding-day option.
