David Koma 3D Flower and Lace Dresses: The Lace Rose, the Cactus Dahlia and Where Each Lives
David Koma 3D Flower and Lace Dresses: The Lace Rose, the Cactus Dahlia and Where Each Lives
The 3D flower is the David Koma embellishment that is not crystal: a bloom cut from nylon lace, layered and stitched to stand off the cloth, on satin, cady, jersey, wool, denim and organza. It has three names in the house, lace flower, lace rose and cactus dahlia, and one method. There are 80 flower pieces in stock at Luxury Handbags from $1,441 to $8,920, and this guide explains the three flowers, where each season put them, and ranks the twelve to buy.
Key facts
- 80 3D-flower and lace pieces in stock, $1,441 to $8,920, median $3,490, across gowns, midis, minis, tops, trousers, jackets, skirts and denim.
- The flower is cut from an 88% nylon, 12% elastane lace and stitched to stand off the cloth; the brand lists that lace as the embroidery fibre.
- Three flowers: the lace flower (any bloom), the lace rose (resort 2026, rose-shaped, on satin and wool) and the cactus dahlia (spring-summer 2026, many-petalled, cut from satin and tulle).
- On denim the flower is embroidered in a cotton-and-metal thread rather than applied in lace, and those pieces are made in Turkey.
- Care: dry clean, reshape each flower after cleaning, never fold across an embroidered panel.

Flower against crystal
The two embellishments do different jobs. Crystal is a point of light and reads at a distance; a flower is a shape and reads up close, which makes the flower pieces the better daytime and wedding choice and the crystal pieces the better evening one. The house occasionally combines them, on the Crystal Flower Necklace Midi Dress and the 3D Lace Flower And Corset Gown, and those are the pieces for a wearer who wants both. The crystal guide covers the other half, and the resort edit the lace rose season.
“There is always this tension between hard and soft in my work, which inspired the color palette and its exotic element,” David Koma told WWD of spring 2026 in October 2025. “I wanted to create this really strong and sharp collection that can be equally powerful and dangerous, but very serene and beautiful at the same time.”
