Presale Atelier Sketch
This illustration represents a Tidewater Atelier design concept — inspired by the Graduation Ball dress that will be hand-crafted upon order.
Ethereal and refined, the satin bodice is envisioned with a delicate lace overlay, softly shaped with classical lines and accented by Copenhagen-blue ribbon lacing at the center front. Gentle puff sleeves create a romantic, vintage silhouette, while the knee-length skirt flows lightly with the dancer, layered in fine net and finished with a soft lace hem.
The skirt design includes a sheer lace overlay with hand-placed floral lace appliqués, adding texture, dimension, and subtle shimmer as the dancer moves.
This artwork is not a photograph of a finished garment.
It is a watercolor couture rendering showing the intended silhouette, color story, and decorative direction.
Each Tidewater costume is individually constructed from real fabrics, trims, and lace, which naturally vary in tone, texture, and drape.
The final costume will be created from this approved design, interpreted through Tidewater’s couture construction techniques.
