This is an elegant sheath styled gown. It almost appears to be an empire style with its band of beading from the neckline to the bust. The beading stops at the bust, not below and continues around to the back of the gown. The beading is all intricately hand sewn with white pearls, palettes, and gold tubular beads. The beading adds a beautiful sparkle to the gown. The chiffon train is attached at the mid-back area, and flows down the back into a court train. The chiffon gives the gown a very airy feel. This gown has a hidden zipper on back. The bust section is lined in the same silk fabric as the gown, which feels lovely against your skin. This gown is fully lined, and is truly beautiful! Please note, there is slight dusting around the edge of the neckline, not noticeable while wearing.
