Devore literally means "to devour" in French. The process uses a chemical gel that eats away (dissolves) cellulose plant fibers (such as cotton, linen, raime, rayon, and viscose) without harming the non-plant silk fibers, that make our wedding dresses so comfortable that you will want to wear it for the rest of your life!

This is the DIANA design, inspired by the Greek goddess DIANA the huntress. The free shoulder, which will let you shoot your Cupid's bow unhindered, features a hand beadwork sholder strap. Shangri-La has created the ultimate expression of "queen for a day" !


Shangri-La's DIANA Dress

Italian trained Chinese designer You Min uses silk devore fabric, a rayon pile velvet burnt away with acid printing to leave shadows of silk chiffon amid deep velvet pile, for SHANGRI-LA to now bring this art to the wedding dress! This technique, first invented in France at least a century ago and very fashionable in the "roaring twenties" now makes a striking and avante garde comeback!



Note the details of our hand beadwork: both structural and elegant. The details are all up to you. Let us create your bridal fantasy at Shangri-La!
