Palazzo Visconti Champagne Mermaid
Ref. MAISON-PALAZZO-VISCONTI-CHAMPAGNE-MERMAID
A champagne mermaid gown photographed at the Palazzo Visconti. The bodice is a strapless corset with a sweetheart line, worked in gold and crystal beading that is dense at the centre front and thins outward, and it finishes in a short peplum flounce that breaks the line at the hip before the skirt begins.
Below the peplum the skirt is smooth and close to the leg until the knee, then releases into a tiered ruffle so the hem carries volume the body does not. The veil is cut long enough to overtake the train and is bordered in gold-worked lace on all sides.
Mermaid gowns are the least forgiving thing we cut, which is why we fit them four times rather than three. Write to the atelier in Amman on WhatsApp and we will schedule from your date backwards.

A piece built, not bought.
This piece is not sold from a cart. It begins with a conversation, then a sketch, a fitting, and atelier work made for one woman and one occasion.
Like every Maison commission, Palazzo Visconti Champagne Mermaid is not an item with a price tag — it is a relationship that begins in the atelier, accommodates revisions and family input, and ends with a piece that exists for one woman, on one day.
