Why Clio Peppiatt is worth it
Clio Peppiatt makes party dresses that work like wearable art: hand-beaded, full of stories and made to catch every light in the room.
Every dress begins as one of the designer's own drawings, then gets beaded and embroidered by hand by artisan groups, many of them third-generation embroiderers. The signature is a beaded mini on a stretch mesh base that moves with the body, covered in castles, mythical beasts, butterflies or stars, with a level of handwork rare outside couture. The mood is celebratory with a slightly subversive wink, never prim.

About Clio Peppiatt
Clio Peppiatt was born in Paris into a home full of art and artists. Her grandmother taught her embroidery, and her great-grandmother made lace gloves.
After studying textiles and womenswear in London and interning in print design at Alexander McQueen, she launched her label in 2015, building it around hand-beading and embroidery that turn her drawings into celebratory party dresses.

What shoppers say
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
- Fit
Sizes run XXS to XXL; pick by your measurements on the size chart. The beaded minis on stretch mesh are the baseline fit, while firmer crepe styles run a little small, so the brand suggests sizing up on those. Paid alterations are available.
