This gowns design allows embellishment with a sleek look. The richly beaded back bodice looks as if it is peeking out giving a three dimensional feel with a modern edge. The front reveals a more traditional look with the dropped waist and box pleats. The dropped waist is very flattering on since it elongates the torso. This gown is fully lined and has additional layers of crinoline for added fullness. The bodice has boning to help keep the shape. This is a truly GORGEOUS gown! You are assured to be adorned with compliments!
