The Juliet Dress. Named after the infamous heroine of Shakespeare’s greatest love story, the Juliet Dress is a contemporary take on a traditional style. Taking elements of inspiration from the Elizabethan era in which Shakespeare lived, it features a structured boned bodice, and slightly dropped waist which subtly come to a point at the centre-front and back. The historical influences are brought bang up to date with the addition of an audacious split in the front of the skirt, and hidden pockets in the side seams.

The construction of this sublime gown uses almost eight metres of fabric, and traditional corsetry techniques utilising the highest quality sprung boning, which ensures a wonderful fit and complete comfort for the wearer. Cut from a lustrous organic silk/hemp blend, and fully lined in organic bamboo charmeuse, the dress also features a hidden wrist loop and ribbon ties to hold or tie the train out of the way for dancing. All Rolling In Roses pieces are available in any size.

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
