Crafted with meticulous hand pleating, the ‘Peony’ Mikado wedding dress embodies the classic princess silhouette. Its finely panelled, boned bodice showcases flattering draping across a sweetheart neckline. Detachable off-the-shoulder straps extend the romantic theme. The box-pleated full skirt elegantly features a front slit, complemented by a generous train.
Mikado wedding dresses are renowned for their luxurious and elegant appeal, making them a popular choice for brides seeking sophistication and structure. But where did this fabulous fabric originate, and why do brides fall in love with it?
Known for its lustrous sheen and smooth finish, Mikado is heavier and more structured than many bridal fabrics, making it perfect for creating clean lines and polished silhouettes. The fabric’s density also drapes beautifully, giving a regal and timeless appeal to any wedding dress (Olivia Bottega).
The appeal of Mikado wedding dresses is relatively modern, gaining popularity in the latter half of the 20th century. The fabrics ability to hold intricate details and maintain a smooth, elegant look throughout the day has made it a staple in bridal fashion. Brides love the fabric’s thickness and structure, which provide a flattering fit and enhance the body’s natural curves. The versatility of Mikado makes it suitable for various styles, from classic A-lines to dramatic ball gowns and sleek mermaid cuts (Martin Thornburg).
In New Zealand, Mikado’s appeal is just as strong. Brides appreciate the luxurious feel and the fabric’s ability to be tailored into unique, timeless gowns. Whether planning a summer garden wedding or a winter wonderland ceremony, a Mikado dress is a versatile choice for Auckland brides.
