Naiadine gown by Calliope Anemouli

Inspired by the graceful water-nymphs of Greek lore, the Naiadine gown marries fluid movement with intricate texture. A softly scalloped lace bodice sweeps into a small keyhole at the waist—evoking the glint of sunlight on a hidden spring—while delicate spaghetti straps rest beneath a single billowing chiffon sleeve embroidered with rippling lace waves. Beneath, a slim sheath of ivory lace is revealed through a dramatic, asymmetric chiffon overlay that parts in the front like a gentle waterfall, cascading into a full, flowing skirt. The back dips into a soft V, leaving the shoulders bare as if the nymph herself has just emerged from the water. Naiadine is for the bride who wants to embody that timeless, ethereal beauty—an ode to the unseen currents that carry us from one moment to the next.
