Your Perfect Fit
Richard Bussell Gown is available in two fit options so you can wear it exactly as intended.

Either way, every gown is made with the same couture-level attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Suggested Hairstyles
Richard Bussell's strapless neckline and dramatic 3D bow call for a hairstyle that keeps the shoulders beautifully bare and the sculptural bow fully visible. A sleek updo or high chignon is the quintessential pairing — polished and commanding, letting the strapless line and 3D bow take full dramatic center stage. For a vintage-inspired look, a classic Hollywood wave pinned to one side or a low chignon adds timeless glamour that echoes the gown's vintage elegance.
Jewelry Pairings
Richard Bussell's strapless neckline and 3D bow invite refined, front-facing jewelry. A statement necklace or layered chains at the collarbone add glamour to the clean strapless line. Drop or chandelier earrings in crystal or pearl frame the face beautifully. A slim bracelet or cuff and a structured satin clutch in a tonal or complementary shade complete the look with vintage-modern couture confidence.
