The Dress

This dress exudes a classic elegant minimalism— with thoughtful updates like pockets, a fully-built comfort bodice, and a slit for walking that make it the ideal match for a modern bride. Graceful shoulder straps plunge into a deep V-neckline for a subtle and sexy allure, while in the back bodice, a complementing deep V-back joins the strand of fabric-covered buttons that will adorn the full-length of this gorgeous gown. Graceful line seaming shapes the tapered waist for a chic A-line silhouette in crisp matte Mikado silk, and discreet pockets add a functional luxury, fitting a full iPhone effortlessly. To elevate this simple and glamorous gown even more, a detachable asymmetrical bow detail creates an illusion of a snatch waist by matching lines and a high slit in the skirt making it easy to walk and traverse stairs or hills (even in the rain) in this stunning gown. The built-in bra entirely under-structured top bodice to the waist has enough support for a curvy gal, and is incredibly comfortable without being heavy or needing adjustment of the girls all night. The dress was airy enough to wear on a humid and hot spring day in North Carolina and held a no-wrinkled look all night no matter how long it was worn.
