Vanessa is built for a bride who understands the power of a precise silhouette. Cut from 4-ply Milano crepe in buttercream, the fit-and-flare structure moves with the body while holding its shape through every hour of the day. The bodice is hand-embellished with 3D lace and crystallized tulle, applied with the level of detail Yumi Katsura is known for across decades of couture bridal work. A plunging sweetheart neckline brings depth without sacrificing refinement. An optional neck scarf is included, offering a second way to wear the gown from ceremony to reception.

Why We Love It

The pairing of structured Milano crepe with hand-embellished lace is not common at this level of execution. Vanessa earns its place in the Yumi Katsura collection.

Style Notes

Photographs exceptionally well in natural light. The crystallized tulle catches both indoor and outdoor light differently, making this gown as strong in the reception hall as it is at the altar.
