Costarellos Feather Gowns: The Renia and the Feather Pieces to Wear With It

A feather gown is the most theatrical choice in evening dress, and the Costarellos Renia is the house’s answer for Fall Winter 2026: a floor length black evening gown in French tulle, hung with cascading crystal fringe and traced with feathers that the house describes as sustainable. It is new at Costarellos at Coveti for $4,800, and two smaller feather pieces from the same season let you wear the idea at a dinner instead of a ball.

Quick answer

• The Renia French Tulle Feathers Gown costs $4,800 at Coveti, in black, UK 6 to UK 18 (FR 34 to FR 46).
• Main fabric: 100% polyamide. House fit note: True to size.
• Smaller feather options: the Luneth French Tulle Feather Top ($2,000) and the Lissia Mohair Wool Feathers Sweater ($1,190).
• Dress code: black tie, galas, winter balls and New Year’s Eve.

What makes the Renia different

Most feather dresses put the feathers at the hem, so the effect stops at the knee. On the Renia the feathers run the full length of the skirt and up to the bodice, set between vertical lines of crystal fringe on a sheer tulle base. The yoke is sheer black tulle over a strapless underlayer, and the back opens in a keyhole. Up close it reads as texture; across a room it reads as movement, because the fringe and the feathers both swing as you walk. Costarellos made its name on French lace and crystal embroidery in Athens, and this gown puts both habits to work on a single piece.

How to wear a feather gown

Feathers are the jewellery. Keep earrings small and skip a necklace, because the crystal fringe already sits at the collarbone. Choose a smooth satin pump and a plain box clutch; a beaded bag competes with the fringe. Hair works best off the shoulders, in a low bun, so the feathers at the neckline stay visible. For warmth over the shoulders, a sheer bolero keeps the line; read how to wear a bolero with an evening gown. If you want a softer black gown for the same evening, compare black lace gowns.

Caring for feathers and crystal fringe

The house label says dry clean only. Store the Renia flat in a breathable bag, with tissue between the folds, because a hanger drags the weight of the fringe down the tulle. Steam from a distance on the reverse and never press the feathers. Before you dress, take off rings and bracelets that can catch in the fringe.

Wearing it around the world

United Kingdom and Europe: winter black tie means a long wool coat over the gown and a closed pump; sheer black tights are fine under a long hem. North America: gala season runs from November to February, and a gown with a cover for the shoulders works for both the ceremony and the dinner. Gulf states: evening dress codes often ask for covered shoulders and arms, so pair a sleeveless gown with a long sleeve bolero and a wrap, and choose floor length. Australia: the party season falls in summer, so the lighter georgette gowns suit outdoor evenings better than velvet. Coveti ships Costarellos worldwide.

How Costarellos sizing works

Costarellos cuts in French sizes, FR 34 to FR 46 for most gowns. Subtract 28 for the UK size: FR 36 is a UK 8 and a US 4. Most styles carry the house note “true to size”, and the model on the brand site is 180cm wearing FR 36. Where a style fits differently, the note on the product page says so, and the table above repeats it. For measurements, read the Costarellos size guide.
