The Lea Dress

arkitaip x Magdalena Studio

I'm so excited to introduce you to a very special collaboration. When I got engaged in March 2025, naturally, the first thing I started thinking about was the dress. I knew it had to be linen, and I had this vision of a corset in mind…

Because making bridal corsets is an art form in itself, I knew I wanted to bring in an expert. So in an Instagram rabbit hole, I came across the wonderful Aisté, founder of Magdalena, a Lithuanian bridal atelier based in Vilnius.

What we landed on was simple: a corset and a maxi panelled skirt, made from arkitaip linen. The vision: one dress, comfortable enough to be worn from ceremony to sunrise. I wanted something that would feel less like a costume and more like a second skin.

We used our signature linen and built it into bridal form: a form-fitting corset top and a panelled maxi skirt with frayed edges, cut for movement and ease through a long day.

And now it will be exclusively available on our website: each piece will be fitted to your measurements and the making will take about 8-10 weeks.

P.S. In case you have a specific vision and would like to bring it to life, we also offer custom bridal pieces: made from our signature linen, fitted to you, and built around whatever it is you have in mind.
