Editor’s Guide: Styling Bernadette
1. The Taffeta Volume
The brand loves taffeta for its ability to hold shape. When wearing their voluminous mini dresses or skirts, balance the look with a sleek, minimal heel. Let the fabric’s “crunch” and structure be the statement.
2. The Peignoir Look
Many Bernadette dresses are inspired by vintage robes and kimonos. To take a silk slip dress from boudoir to black tie, pair it with statement crystal earrings and a structured clutch to anchor the fluidity.
3. The Floral Clash
Charlotte de Geyter hand paints the prints. They are designed to be mixed. Don’t be afraid to pair a floral top with a contrasting floral skirt—the color palettes are curated to harmonize.

Length: Floor-length gowns are cut generously long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the prints unique?
Yes. Every floral print is hand made by co-founder Charlotte de Geyter in their Antwerp studio making each collection feel personal and artistic.
How do I care for the taffeta?
Taffeta is a crisp fabric that can crease. We recommend professional steaming or dry cleaning only. Do not iron directly on high heat.
