Discover the One Dress by Unica: your most individual creation, handmade to your very own measure, your colorful dreams and secret wishes.
When you ask a child to draw a dress, it will come up with a very simple A-form. This is the soul of every dress ever made in the world. And it is the template for every Unica dress. You can add length, width, colors or layers, or even sleeves, it will still be the dress that takes you practically anywhere. The paper pattern that will be the starting point for every new dress was established after careful measuring, drawing and finally fitting on numerous women. From this was distilled the ultimate Unica dress.
It begins with one dress. From here you can start dreaming about lines, colors and materials.
Will it be a slip on dress, or do you want it to follow your curves? Should the neckline plunge or underline your collarbone? Will you glimpse a knee or barely an ankle? Everything is possible.
The black dress you try on serves as a white canvas: you may paint it in monochrome greys or sparkling reds. Striped, chequered of wildly untamed. We can pleat, smock or embroider, use a contrasting stitch or an unexpected incision, everything to turn your dress into a unique creation.
You can play with the fabrics at hand so you can feel whether a coarsely woven Shetland tweed might suit you, rather than a coolwool barley weave or a sturdy cotton gabardine. Or should your dress be light as a feather in a floaty batiste from India, a delicate French voile or a see-through silk jersey?
In order for your Unica dress to be of high quality, it is drawn, cut and sewn by hand.
With an eye for artisanal detail and subtle proportions, each dress will be cut and sewn by hand, skillfully blending beautiful fabrics and intricate techniques.
Quite a refreshing experience in a time when everything can be reproduced in series, in standard sizes and at unjustified prices.
The simplicity of the pattern will highlight the quality of the materials and the delicacy of every line. Every line will accentuate the strength and beauty of your body.
Be part of the art of dressmaking.
