The Marlowe Mini — Antique Alençon Lace Edition
The Marlowe Mini is a modern heirloom, designed for brides who want something daring, romantic, and unapologetically fun. Featuring a fully boned corset bodice and sculpting V-waist silhouette, this version introduces a pleated asymmetrical front skirt that adds movement, shape, and a little extra drama while still feeling effortless and wearable.
Crafted from rare antique Alençon lace, this limited run highlights the beauty of true heirloom textile work. Delicate, dimensional, and impossible to replicate. Soft fringe accents and thoughtful construction allow the dress to move naturally with you, making it ideal for second looks, rehearsal dinners, elopements, western weddings, or any bridal moment that leans more cowgirl couture than traditional aisle energy.
Each Marlowe Mini is handcrafted to order in our Oceanside, California studio using revived textiles. Lace placement will vary slightly, ensuring every piece remains genuinely one-of-a-kind.
