Daphne and Kate

Two empire waists in different registers: pale silk against jewel-tone taffeta.

6 pieces across both looks · together about $70–80 · 56 days to go

Why it works

The most expensive pairing here and the one that photographs best. Both halves are a full build, so this is an early-October decision or none at all.
