An elegant brown fabric we had been searching for over several years.
We finally found it in a men's swatch book: a British flannel.
A dress for grown-ups, with an understated collar and ribbon.

We present a bespoke autumn/winter dress in an elegant brown British flannel, tailored by Couture de PEARL in Osaka.
In search of the ideal fabric
For several years, our client had cherished a wonderful dream: "Someday, I want to have an autumn/winter dress made in an elegant brown fabric."
We visited many suppliers, yet could never find the fabric that was exactly right, and it became a piece of homework that lasted for years.
In a men's swatch book, of all places
Where we finally found it was, of all places, in a men's swatch book. It was a fine British flannel.
The moment we found it, both we and our client were thrilled. It was an unforgettable moment that made us glad we had kept searching to the end without compromise.
A dress with an understated collar and ribbon
From this fabric, filled with such special memories, we tailored a dress accented with a collar and ribbon that are not too sweet. It is a silhouette for grown-ups, with an exquisite mix of charm and elegance.
The sleeves are deliberately half-length. Worn with long gloves, the look becomes classical and truly lovely.
To give shape, without compromise, to the dream of "someday wearing a dress like this." That is the greatest joy of bespoke tailoring.
