Black Victorian Gothic Corset Gown — Noir Black Silk - Immortelle Bijouterie
This black Victorian gothic corset gown — realized in noir black silk — harmonizes the architectural silhouette of 18th-century French court dress with the dramatic posture of Victorian era influence. Inspired by historic robe à la française and corsetry as wearable architecture, this design is not a reproduction but a modern interpretation blending historical lineage with contemporary atelier craftsmanship.
In the 18th century, satin silks were prized for their ability to enhance architectural silhouettes. When rendered in black, the fabric elevated the gown’s structure rather than softening it, allowing pleats, seams, and corseted shaping to read with clarity and authority. The result is a black Victorian-inspired gothic dress aesthetic that communicates composure, confidence, and refinement without excessive ornamentation.
Each corset gown features a fully built-in corset constructed with coated spiral steel boning for sculpted support and shaping. Four-inch modesty panels at both the front and back provide adjustability, comfort, and a personalized fit over time.
Designed to be worn over panniers, side hoops, or full hoop skirts, this black corset gown is suited to formal events, renaissance faire, portraiture, and immersive historical environments. It may be styled with removable stomachers, layered skirts, and decorative panels to compose an ensemble tailored to the wearer’s desired silhouette.
The Noir Black Satin Immortelle Corset Gown occupies a precise space between historical reverence and modern elegance. It is not a ceremonial reproduction nor a costume novelty, but a historically inspired corset gown designed for those who value structure, craftsmanship, and understated drama in a wearable form.
This offering is for the overdress only.
Skirts, panniers, hoop skirts, stomachers, and additional styling elements are purchased separately.
✧ Each Immortelle corset gown may vary subtly with the dye lot and character of its lace and fabric, ensuring that every collection — and every dress — carries its own gentle distinctions ✧

The line is disciplined. The form is complete.
Restraint allows transformation.
Through interchangeable stomachers, skirts, and ornamentation, a single overdress shifts in presence and expression, again and again.
Nothing is fixed beyond what must endure. What remains is the architecture.
What evolves is the vision of the woman who wears it.
