The Story
The gown that names the line.
The Riviera is the namesake. A heavy ivory silk satin, sleeveless, with a foulard falling in a deep cowl across the back. The dress reads as cover from the front and as bare back from behind.

The cowl is set on the body in the third fitting, then sewn down by hand with a fine bias binding so it sits against the spine without drooping.
It is the gown for the woman who knows the room before she enters it.
