Florentine Halter Dress - Dazzling Blue

A picture of spirited day-to-night dressing, made from soft cotton, the Florentine halter dress is an instant classic. A figure-framing silhouette, a classic V-neckline and low back, tie-fastened at the neck and cinched at the waist, cut perfectly with embroidered panels, flowing to a flared, floor-length hem.

Featuring an array of striking daywear styles, the Florentine story highlights the magnificence of Temperley’s signature embroidery artwork. Originally hand-painted with exquisite detail and shading, combining basketry weave lattice with Jacobean vine motifs and medieval manuscript-inspired calligraphic flourishes, then replicated directly in meticulous stitchwork. A fresh and nuanced take on historical ornamentation, the result is vibrant and modern, enlivened by a bold colour palette and contrasting finishings.

On the breezy cotton base, the detailed embroidery is painted by hand, then recreated in distinctive stitchwork.
