Stripe’tease - The name says it all. An Ian Stuart original that doesn’t so much enter the room as commandeer it.

• Designed by the late Ian Stuart, master of bridal theatre and unapologetic glamour
  • Ivory striped silk organza pleated and folded with reckless precision
  • Strapless sweetheart bodice with serious corsetry inside—not for the faint-hearted (or faint-waisted)
  • Stripes gleefully running every which way into exuberant ruffles and a dramatic train that tests the width of church doors
  • Tiny covered buttons trailing down the zip line like polite chaperones after all that drama
  • Separate capelet in matching striped organza with three tiers of frills—fastened with a single button
  • Sample dress in immaculate condition, complete with original Ian Stuart tags and fabric swatches
  • This isn’t just a gown—it’s couture-level theatre, ready to scandalise your mother-in-law (and she’ll thank you for it)

Beverley says:
If Marie Antoinette were marrying in the 21st century, she'd need a second dress for the reception—and it would be this. It’s playful, outrageous, and knows exactly what it’s doing. One part old-school Dior, one part rock opera, all parts statement.

Measurements:

• Bust: 38"
• Waist: 30"
• Hips: 40"
• Waist to hem (front): 46"

This dress has its original seam allowance, so your seamstress can work magic—let it out or take it in to fit just so.

About Sample Gowns:
Stripe’tease is an authentic Ian Stuart sample. Immaculate, with all the trimmings (literally). Unlike true vintage, it won’t show decades of adventures—but sample dresses may have the tiniest quirks from fittings or showroom life. I prefer to call them secrets shared between designer and bride. But this gown is immaculate
