Selene Hand-Smocked Linen-Cotton Dress

Featured in VANDAMOD's Debut Fashion Show Nov 2025, the Selene Dress requires over 25 hours of artisanal work - including 20+ hours of hand-smocking on the bodice panel before the dress is cut and sewn. The result is an heirloom-level detail that hides the tummy, creates sculptural texture, and makes every dress one-of-a-kind.

Crafted from a linen-cotton blend, washed for softness, and fully lined in Vanda’s signature cotton lining (smooth, cool, with a gentle stretch), Selene feels as luxurious as it looks. The sculpted neckline and collar add a unique architectural touch, balancing femininity with strength.

Available in White and Yellow, and other colors are available upon request, this dress is proof that luxury is not loud - it’s quietly, carefully made.

Selene is a love letter to time. Every smocked stitch is done by hand - sculpting texture, concealing where women want softness, and adding detail that machines cannot make. I wanted this dress to carry quiet strength, a piece you won’t find anywhere else.
