Look 3: Signal Seeker (One-of-One Asymmetric Butterfly-Inspired Hand-Knitted Couture Dress)

£4,800.00 GBP

Look 3: "Signal Seeker"

A futuristic silhouette that channels the allure of an alien signal hunter. "Signal Seeker" is a form-fitting gown intricately knit with shimmering metallic fibers, adorned with bold flashes of color like a cosmic waveform. An asymmetric plunging neckline and abstract butterfly-wing motifs hint at an extraterrestrial anatomy. Rising behind the wearer, a pair of expansive wire antennae unfurl, capturing invisible frequencies and announcing the presence of a cosmic voyager. This dynamic piece fuses soft textile craft with a striking metal framework, exemplifying X0C29’s synergy of technology and nature in couture.

X0C29 ATELIER One-of-One Asymmetric Butterfly-Inspired Hand-Knitted Couture Dress

Description

Created entirely by the X0C29 Atelier, this one-of-one couture dress explores sculptural knitwear through asymmetrical construction, butterfly-inspired knitted compositions, and wearable textile engineering. Every panel has been individually developed before being assembled into a single couture piece that cannot be reproduced.

Designed with a relaxed oversized silhouette, the garment combines domestic machine knitting with extensive hand-finishing. Contrasting knitted structures, irregular geometry and asymmetrical color blocking create a fluid composition that transforms from every viewing angle while remaining exceptionally soft and flexible.

The entire garment possesses significant natural stretch, allowing it to comfortably adapt to different body types. Intended as a gender-inclusive couture piece, it can be worn as a dress, elongated vest or layered sculptural garment depending on styling. Despite its highly artistic construction, the knit remains comfortable for wear due to its flexible textile architecture.

As a true one-of-one Atelier creation, this piece represents hundreds of hours of material development, knitting, hand assembly and embellishment. Produced entirely in-house by the X0C29 Studio, it is intended for collectors seeking experimental couture knitwear rather than conventional ready-to-wear.

Craftsmanship

Each knitted section was individually developed using domestic knitting machines before being hand assembled into its final sculptural form. Multiple yarn qualities—including metallic, textured and shimmer yarns—are combined to create dimensional surfaces and varying densities throughout the garment.

The couture beading is executed entirely by hand using metallic thread, metallic yarns, Swarovski crystal beads and metal tube beads. Every decorative section has been individually threaded and integrated into the knitted structure without industrial automation, creating a textile that functions simultaneously as garment and handcrafted object.

X0C29 Size Guide

Every X0C29 garment is developed using our proprietary Base Block System. Rather than relying solely on conventional industry sizing, every recommended size is determined through the relationship between body measurements, garment construction, intended silhouette and finished garment measurements. This guide explains how to measure yourself correctly and how to interpret X0C29 sizing across every collection.

SECTION 01

How to Measure

Accurate body measurements are essential for selecting the correct X0C29 size. Measure while wearing lightweight clothing or fitted underwear, keeping the measuring tape comfortably level without pulling tightly.

Measurement Tips

Keep the Tape Level

Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor and avoid twisting it around the body.

Measure Naturally

Stand upright in a relaxed posture without holding your breath or pulling in your waist.

Compare Carefully

Always compare your body measurements with both the Body Size Chart and the individual product measurements before purchasing.

SECTION 03

Fit Guide

Slim Fit

Designed to closely follow the body's natural silhouette with minimal ease. Ideal for garments intended to sculpt the figure while maintaining refined proportions.

Regular Fit

A balanced silhouette providing comfortable ease without compromising the tailored appearance. Suitable for most everyday tailoring and dresses.

Relaxed Fit

Designed with additional ease through the body to create a softer and more relaxed silhouette while preserving the garment's intended proportions.

Compression Fit

Stretch constructions developed to contour the body and provide gentle support while maintaining freedom of movement.

SECTION 04

How We Recommend Your Size

Step 01

Take your body measurements following the instructions in How to Measure. Measure over lightweight clothing or underwear for the most accurate result.

Step 02

Compare your measurements with the X0C29 Body Size Chart to identify your closest body size.

Step 03

Review the Measurements (Flat) listed on each individual product page. These measurements describe the finished garment rather than the body.

Step 04

Follow the Recommended X0C29 Size provided on the product page. Every recommendation is determined using the X0C29 sizing methodology, considering garment construction, intended fit, grading and the corresponding Base Block.

Why does X0C29 recommend a size?

Unlike conventional fashion brands, X0C29 garments are not sized solely according to generic body measurements. Each design begins with its own dedicated Base Block before progressing through garment development, grading and fit refinement. For this reason, the Recommended X0C29 Size displayed on each product page should always be considered the primary sizing reference.

SECTION 05

Understanding Product Measurements

Measurements shown on every X0C29 product page are finished garment measurements taken while the garment is laid flat. They are not body measurements.

Example

Bust (Flat)	45 cm
Garment Bust	90 cm (measured flat ×2)
Body Bust	Please refer to the Body Size Chart.

Flat Measurements

All dimensions are measured with the garment laid flat on a level surface. Measurements may vary slightly due to hand-finishing and production tolerance.

Production Tolerance

Please allow approximately ±1 cm variation between individual garments.

Need Assistance?

If you require additional measurements before purchasing, our studio is happy to provide further information upon request.

SECTION 06

Size Notes & Frequently Asked Questions

Are the measurements shown on product pages body measurements?

No. All measurements displayed on individual product pages are finished garment measurements taken flat. Please compare these together with the Body Size Chart and the recommended X0C29 size.

Why can two garments in the same size fit differently?

Each X0C29 garment is developed using its own Base Block and intended silhouette. Different constructions, proportions and garment ease will naturally produce different fits even when the recommended size is identical.

What if I fall between two sizes?

If your body measurements fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a closer fit or the larger size for a more relaxed silhouette, unless otherwise recommended on the product page.

Can I request additional measurements?

Yes. If you require further measurements, sizing advice or styling guidance, please contact the X0C29 studio before placing your order.

Should I follow the Body Size Chart or the Recommended X0C29 Size?

The Body Size Chart should be used as your starting reference. However, the Recommended X0C29 Size shown on every product page remains the primary sizing recommendation because it considers the garment's construction, intended fit, grading and Base Block.

The X0C29 Sizing Philosophy

At X0C29, sizing is considered an integral part of the design process rather than a final production specification. Every garment begins with a dedicated Base Block developed specifically for its intended silhouette. From this foundation, each design is refined through construction, drape, proportion, grading and fit before arriving at its final dimensions.

Because every collection explores different forms and structures, garments sharing the same internal size may not fit identically. A sculptural dress, a relaxed coat and a compression knit are each developed from different construction principles and therefore follow different fitting intentions.

For this reason, body measurements alone should not be used as the sole reference when selecting a size. We recommend considering your body measurements together with each product's flat garment measurements and the Recommended X0C29 Size provided on the product page.

Every X0C29 piece is individually evaluated using our proprietary Base Block System to ensure that the recommended size reflects not only measurements, but also the garment's intended fit, proportion and construction.
