General background & information
 
This romantic Catherine Rayner wedding dress showcases all of the reasons that Rayner's designs resonate as strongly with brides today as they did in past decades.
 
Katherine is constructed from Rayner's trademark silk dupion fabric, a subtly textured material that is lightweight, luxe, and airy. The skirt is densely gathered to take advantage of the best of silk dupion's qualities. It provides ample volume without being heavy. 
 
The standout feature of this gown is the detailing along the neckline. Catherine Rayner was famous for her handmade silk rosettes. Katherine features an alternating pattern of silk charmeuse rosettes and small silk dupion bows. The wide-set scoop neckline is flattering and not overwhelming even on petite frames, as is the Basque waist. The gown can be worn on the shoulder, as intended, or off the shoulder, in a more modern interpretation. (There is sufficient structure in the bodice that the straps and sleeves are not necessary to keep the dress up.)
 
Katherine is finished with Rayner's large covered buttons and handmade silk rouleau loops.
