Charlie

The Charlie by Moira Hughes.. A modern take on the classic ballgown, The Charlie by Moira Hughes is all about structure, shape and movement.

Designed for the bride who wants something with presence, Charlie pairs a sculpted basque waist corset with a full, hand-pleated satin taffeta skirt. The elongated corsetry and internal cinch belt define the waist, while carefully placed seam lines draw the eye into the silhouette.

The result is a wedding dress that feels dramatic without being overly traditional. The full skirt brings volume and movement, while the pleated straps and statement low back add a distinctly modern edge.

Finished with a beautiful satin-backed taffeta, The Charlie catches the light as it moves, making it a particularly striking choice for a modern city wedding, elegant country venue or black-tie celebration.
