Style Guide- The Udaya Satin Corset Waist Tea Length Skirt
This emerald green, high-waisted, corseted maxi skirt is a magnificent statement piece with incredible movement and drama
True luxury is found in the intersection of structure and flow. Our handmade emerald green satin maxi skirt is a masterclass in silhouette, featuring a meticulously crafted corset waist that transitions into a dramatic, high-sheen flare. This collection is designed for the woman who commands attention, whether she is attending a gala or enjoying a sophisticated getaway.
To showcase the versatility of this artisanal piece, we have curated four looks that range from romantic resort wear to urban power-dressing.
The Gala Enchantress
A masterclass in classic evening elegance, blending intricate textures with a powerful, high-contrast palette
The Hero Piece: Our handmade emerald green skirt, featuring its signature high-waisted corset and full, tea-length satin sweep.
The Base: An off-the-shoulder, ivory floral lace bodysuit with scalloped edges and delicate elbow-length sleeves, tucked precisely into the skirt’s corset waist.
The Accessories: Bold, high-shine gold accents, including a thick curb-link chain necklace and a matching textured, wide-cuff bracelet.
The Finishing Touches: A structured black leather clutch with a vintage-inspired gold frame clasp and architectural black patent leather platform stilettos with a sharp, pointed toe and ankle strap.
Why This Look Works
Timeless Texture Contrast: This look thrives on the juxtaposition of materials. The delicate, matte intricacy of the ivory lace provides a stunning visual counterpoint to the heavy, liquid sheen of the emerald satin.
Sculptural Proportions: The off-the-shoulder neckline balances the voluminous flare of the skirt, drawing the eye upward and emphasizing the structured corset waist. This creates a classic, regal silhouette reminiscent of mid-century couture.
Gilded Framing: The oversized gold jewelry adds a modern, "hard" edge to the otherwise romantic lace and satin. The gold tones specifically pull out the warmth in the emerald green, making the color appear deeper and more luxurious.
The Power of Black Accents: By introducing black in the clutch and the avant-garde platform heels, the outfit gains a sense of grounded sophistication. The patent leather shine on the shoes mirrors the satin's glow, ensuring the look remains cohesive from head to toe. This ensemble truly highlights the skirt’s potential for formal gala wear.
The Riviera Garden Party
Transition the Udaya skirt into a sophisticated resort or high-summer garden party aesthetic
The Hero Piece: Our signature handmade emerald green skirt, featuring its iconic high-waisted corset detail and voluminous satin flare.
The Base: A tonal emerald green silk camisole with a delicate cowl neckline and ultra-thin spaghetti straps, tucked seamlessly into the skirt’s corset waist.
The Accessories: A wide-brimmed white straw sun hat for a touch of classic glamour and a chunky, multi-strand beaded necklace in a contrasting olive green.
The Finishing Touches: A fan-shaped woven straw tote with cream fabric handles and white pointed-toe slingback kitten heels for effortless elegance.
Why This Look Works
Tonal Sophistication: By pairing the emerald skirt with a camisole in a matching jewel tone, you create a seamless "column of colour". This elongates the silhouette and allows the architectural corset waist to remain the undisputed focal point of the outfit.
Mixed Organic Textures: The juxtaposition of the heavy, lustrous satin skirt against the natural textures of the woven straw hat and basket bag creates a "high-low" luxury feel. It transforms a formal evening garment into a sophisticated daytime look suitable for a luxury resort or summer event.
Geometric Interest: The sharp, pointed lines of the slingback heels and the unique fan shape of the tote bag provide modern, geometric counterpoints to the soft, flowing volume of the skirt.
Contrast through Accessories: The olive green necklace adds a subtle, earthy depth to the vibrant emerald, while the crisp white of the hat and shoes provide a bright, refreshing frame that makes the green tones "pop". This look perfectly showcases the skirt's versatility for summer luxury.
The Emerald Muse
A sense of effortless femininity
The Hero Piece: Our Udaya high-waisted skirt in a rich emerald green satin, featuring a structured, corseted waistline that creates a dramatic, hourglass silhouette.
The Base: The base is paired with our Chrissy 100% short-sleeved silk blouse with a deep V-neckline and an elegant tie-neck detail that can be left draped for a fluid effect.
The Accessories: Bold, sculptural gold hoop earrings with an organic, liquid-metal aesthetic that adds a modern touch.
The Finishing Touches: A white quilted top-handle mini bag with gold-tone hardware and signature charms, paired with sleek white pointed-toe stilettos featuring a unique scalloped edge and iconic red soles.
Why This Look Works
Royal Colour Contrast: The vibrant, jewel-toned emerald green acts as a powerful anchor. By pairing it with pristine white, the look feels fresh, light, and incredibly high-end.
Architectural Balance: The rigid, structured corset waist of the skirt provides a sharp contrast to the soft, flowing tie of the silk blouse. This creates a balanced silhouette that is both commanding and graceful.
Luxurious Materiality: Combining the heavy sheen of the green satin with the matte luster of silk and the polished texture of the quilted leather bag creates a multi-dimensional look that screams "premium quality."
Cohesive Gold Accents: The gold elements; from the earrings to the bag charms, serve as a unifying thread. Gold naturally complements emerald green, enhancing the regal and expensive feel of this handmade garment.
The Metropolitan Maven
Our take on urban power-dressing, blending sharp tailoring with the skirt's
inherent drama
for a look that is both authoritative and undeniably feminine.
The Hero Piece: Our signature handmade emerald green skirt, utilizing its high-waisted corset to anchor the ensemble's structural layers.
The Base: A crisp, classic white button-down shirt tucked sharply into the corset waist, layered under our Aya cropped, structured black wool blazer with a single gold statement button.
The Accessories: Minimalist but impactful, featuring a slim gold-accented detail on the footwear that echoes the blazer's hardware.
The Finishing Touches: High-octane black leather stiletto boots that disappear under the skirt’s hem for a seamless leg line, and a long, slim black woven leather clutch with a sculptural gold knot clasp.
Why This Look Works
Proportional Perfection: The cropped length of the black blazer is the secret to this look. By ending exactly where the skirt's corset begins, it emphasizes the narrowest part of the waist and allows the full volume of the emerald satin to flare out without being overwhelmed by fabric.
Textural Trifecta: This outfit successfully navigates three distinct textures: the matte, professional finish of the wool blazer, the sharp cotton of the white shirt, and the luminous, liquid-like sheen of the emerald skirt. This variety adds depth and interest to a relatively simple color palette.
The "Power" Palette: Black, white, and emerald green is a classic combination that signals confidence and sophistication. The white shirt provides a "brightening" effect near the face, while the black elements provide a frame that makes the green appear even more vibrant.
Seamless Transition: This is a "desk-to-dinner" powerhouse. The blazer and button-down lend an air of professional formality, while the hidden stiletto boots and the dramatic sweep of the skirt ensure the wearer is ready for a high-end evening event at a moment's notice
