couture gown
High-fashion formal wear
A couture gown is a high-fashion dress made by a prestigious design house, typically custom-fitted and handcrafted with exceptional materials and workmanship.
The term implies exclusivity and expense far beyond ordinary formal wear: She wore a couture gown to the Met Gala.
Ready-to-wear designs are sometimes loosely called couture, diluting the original meaning.
