Dresses with the bearing of an empire — pleated chiffon, satin slip, crepe and column silhouettes, cut for weddings, the opera and the everyday. Designed in Rome by Hugo Caesar Tassi, in eight colors drawn from the imperial palette. Free express shipping & 30-day returns.
Every Hugo Caesar Tassi dress begins with a Roman idea — the fluted column, the draped toga, the imperial reds — and ends as something a modern woman reaches for without thinking. The result is a wardrobe of occasion dresses that flatter, last, and photograph as beautifully as they move.
Our midi dresses — led by the Aurelia — are the house's most-wanted length: long enough for a wedding, easy enough for dinner. The maxi gowns bring the column silhouette to evening; the mini dresses answer for daytime and the warmer months.
Recycled chiffon for movement, satin for slip dresses, crepe for structure. Each piece is fully considered inside — French seams, concealed zips, real linings — and ships with its fibre content and care card.
Filter by length, color, fabric, occasion and collection to narrow the atelier to the pieces made for your moment. Between sizes? Most styles run true; the bodice on fitted styles is cut close, so size up for a fuller bust.
