What Defines Rococo Style?
Rococo fashion merges artistry and femininity through exquisitely crafted details. Contemporary rococo clothing and gowns remix these elements into stylish pieces suitable for today’s special occasions.
Fabrics
Rococo design prefers luxurious, soft materials such as silk, satin, velvet, and brocade. These fabrics create a natural drape that enhances the elegance of the silhouette.
Color Palette
Pastels are the essence of rococo style dresses — think powder blue, rose pink, mint green, and ivory. Soft gold and pearl accents add an extra touch of sophistication.
Decorative Details
Look for lace trims, ribbons, floral embroidery, ruffles, bows, beading, and scrollwork inspired by nature and Baroque art.
Silhouettes
Traditional Rococo gowns take inspiration from 18th-century shapes featuring corsets, structured bodices, and pannier-inspired volume. Modern takes maintain the same romantic vibe while being more comfortable and practical.
