Story & heritage
Catrine appears in the official dresses assortment and is one of the brand’s clear lace-and-crepe formulas: an embellished bodice, sheer sleeve detail, and a clean floor-length skirt. It is a practical expression of the label’s special-occasion niche.
The gown connects directly to official brand language around embroidered lace, stretch, and a custom-made feel. It looks polished but is engineered for wear rather than runway-only fragility.
Materials & craft
The official product page describes a lace and braid-trimmed bodice, sheer raglan sleeves, a crepe floor-length skirt, and a center back invisible zipper. The product page lists it in Navy/Nude.
The contrast between the lace bodice and crepe skirt gives the gown structure: detail above, length and ease below.
How to choose & style
Catrine is ideal when you want sleeve coverage without losing lightness. Navy heels, a small satin clutch, and softly defined makeup keep it formal but not severe.
