Etaoin Dress ~ Chocolate Taffeta

First created as a showpiece for Irish Roots at Ireland Fashion Week, the Étaoin Dress returns in rich chocolate taffeta — a refined reimagining of one of the signature silhouettes from the Charlotte & Tess Heritage Collection.

Designed in Ireland and handcrafted to order, Étaoin balances feminine romance with beautifully considered structure. The sculpted corseted bodice is defined by contrasting chocolate velvet cups, straps and waist detailing, creating depth against the subtle lustre of the taffeta.

Sitting close through the bodice and elongated dropped waist, the silhouette opens into a gathered, voluminous taffeta skirt, creating beautiful movement and dramatic proportion without losing its femininity. The rich tonal palette gives the dress an understated opulence, while the contrast of soft velvet and crisp taffeta brings texture and dimension to every detail.

Created for occasions that call for something truly special, Étaoin feels equally at home at a winter wedding, black-tie celebration or evening event — a contemporary statement piece with the romance and craftsmanship at the heart of Charlotte & Tess.

A signature of the Charlotte & Tess Heritage Collection, Étaoin was first created for the runway at Ireland Fashion Week — celebrating Irish design through a silhouette that feels timeless, feminine and entirely of the present.
