couture gowns
High-fashion formal wear
Couture gowns are high-fashion dresses made by elite designers, typically one-of-a-kind or produced in extremely limited quantities.
The term derives from haute couture, the French designation for custom-fitted luxury clothing.
These gowns feature exceptional craftsmanship, premium fabrics, and often require hundreds of hours of handwork: She wore a couture gown to the Oscars.
The phrase sometimes loosely describes any expensive formal dress, though purists reserve it for garments from established fashion houses.
