The atelier

Made for the room.

Willow Occasionwear designs gowns for the exact night ahead, then fits each piece around the person wearing it. A Northampton fitting starts with movement, posture and the shoes you will actually use. Every client shown here gave explicit consent. We never show a face without permission.
