About Cecilie Bahnsen
The house makes ready-to-wear with couture construction. Its signature is volume that stands away from the body, built through cloth rather than boning: matelasse, broderie anglaise, quilted silk, jacquard. It has also become a default for brides who do not want a conventional gown, which is why the ivory and white pieces sell first each season.
The Luxury Handbags Editor’s guide to buying Cecilie Bahnsen
Start with the cloth. A Bahnsen dress holds its shape because the fabric is doing the structural work, so a piece that looks stiff on the hanger will sit correctly on the body. Order your usual size and read the measurements rather than the photograph.
If this is your first piece, a skirt and a top are the cheaper way in and carries the same surface. If you want the thing the label is known for, that is a dress. The gowns are the formal end and price accordingly.
For styling, keep everything else narrow and quiet. The volume is the event. A flat sandal, a low boot and a single piece of jewellery are enough.
