Editor's Notes

A study in luminous contrast. Banu pairs the architectural weight of mikado with an intricately beaded bodice, creating a gown that reads as couture at first glance and reveals its detail with every turn.

The strapless sweetheart neckline frames the décolletage with classical precision, set against a bodice of hand-applied beadwork and embroidery that cascades in draped patterns across ivory tulle. The beading reads almost as filigree, delicate and dimensional, with a subtle nude underlay that gives the silver work additional depth. Below the natural waist, a full mikado skirt opens into a circular silhouette with box pleats at the back that flow into a chapel train.

  • Silhouette: Ball gown with full circular skirt
  • Fabric: Mikado with beaded and embroidered bodice
  • Neckline: Strapless sweetheart
  • Waistline: Natural
  • Skirt: Box pleats at the back flowing into a chapel train
  • Train: Chapel
  • Colors available: Ivory and nude, ivory and ivory
  • Style number: BANU
  • Designer: Lazaro

Why we love it

Banu belongs to the tradition of couture-inspired ball gowns where the bodice does the talking and the skirt provides the stage. The beadwork is extraordinary. Intricate, dimensional, and applied with the kind of hand craftsmanship that defines the Lazaro name. The mikado skirt is disciplined enough to hold its architecture without feeling heavy, and the chapel train reads as classical rather than theatrical. This is a gown for the bride who wants the quiet grandeur of traditional bridal with an embellishment story strong enough to carry the room.

Style notes

Best suited for cathedral, ballroom, and estate venues where the skirt and train can be fully appreciated. Pair with a chapel or cathedral veil in matching ivory for ceremony, and consider removing for reception to let the bodice stand on its own. Pearl drop earrings and a refined updo complement the bodice's vintage craftsmanship. The ivory and nude colorway reads warmer and more editorial under natural light; ivory and ivory reads more traditional and works beautifully in evening and candlelight settings.
