This is a stunning gown with an empire cut. Underneath the bust is a braided metallic cording which is interlaced with pearls. The top part of the gown has hand stitched silver, white and gold threading in the shape of small hearts and petals; very romantic. Dispersed thru the threading are clear sequins to give sparkle. The gown has a mermaid style bottom. It also has eighteen buttons going down the back of the gown.
