The collection

Dresses you can wear again

We keep the rail small on purpose. Good fabric, honest cuts, and pieces that still make sense after the event is over.

How we choose

It starts with the fabric

We spend a long time with cloth before anything else. Does it crease badly? Does it look cheap under restaurant light? Will you still like it in a year?

If you are shopping for a wedding, a dinner or simply something better than “fine”, we would rather help you find one dress that fits your life than sell you three you forget.

Our story

A small boutique in Monaco

Chicmontessa grew out of a fairly simple idea: dress shopping should not feel noisy. We opened a boutique that focuses almost entirely on dresses — evening, occasion and the midis you can wear on ordinary weekdays too.

We are still a small team. That means you get proper answers, honest sizing notes and a rail that has been edited rather than piled high.
