How to wear feathers

Keep feathers to one place. A feather hem wants a bare neck, and a feather neckline wants a plain skirt. A brooch is the easiest way in: pin it to the lapel of the Cabernet Crepe Double Breasted Blazer, the way the house does, and the suit becomes an occasion look. The detachable necklines on the bodices come off, so the same top works at the office and at night.

Frequently asked questions

What are Carla Zampatti feathers made of?

Ostrich feather. The brooches are 100% ostrich feather on a gold pin, and the dresses carry an ostrich feather trim on crepe.

How do I care for a feather dress?

Keep it dry and away from water, oil and perfume, never wash the feathers, and store it with room so the feathers are not crushed. The feather-trimmed bodice is dry clean only by a leather and fur specialist.

Can I take the feathers off the bodices?

Yes. The Floss and cabernet feather detail bodices have a detachable feather neckline.

Where do I wear a feather brooch?

On a blazer lapel, at the collarbone of a knit and at the shoulder of a dress. The house pins them to its crepe blazers.

Does Carla Zampatti fit true to size?

Yes. The house uses Australian sizes from AU 4 to 16, which match UK sizes one to one, so take your usual UK size. Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes.
