Encore - Cortana Aura Gown
SAMPLE GOWN - FR40/AU10
Effortless elegance meets architectural grace. The Aura Gown embodies the artistic vision of designer Rosa Esteva, celebrating the marriage of fluid movement and structural precision. Designed for the bride who appreciates understated luxury with a contemporary edge, this gown is a masterpiece in the intersection of art, architecture, and romance. Perfect for a modern ceremony or as a stunning statement piece for an intimate celebration.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Aura Gown showcases Cortana's signature approach to bridal design. The bias-cut silhouette creates an effortlessly flowing foundation, while the straight neckline and delicate thin straps allow for a refined, unadorned elegance. Hand-crafted from luxurious silk satin, the gown features a distinctive silk georgette overdress that adds textural depth and movement. The defining design element—two graceful bows that cross at the back and tie at the waist—introduces an unexpected sophistication and romantic flourish. A two-layer skirt creates dimension and flow, while the charming satin-covered button closure at the centre back adds a touch of understated femininity and vintage-inspired detail.
A gown that balances structural simplicity with poetic movement, the Aura is for the bride who believes that true elegance lies in the details and the graceful line of a perfect silhouette.
