Sophisticated, elegant, beautiful gown! The sleeves are slightly off the shoulder, making a nice change from the strapless dresses, and it has a draped bodice with a dropped waist which flows into an A-line skirt. The draping of the bodice follows into a blousy layered bow fastened at the back and a semi-chapel length. The dress has been well taken care of and it's packed carefully in a wedding gown preservation box. I loved wearing this gown and hope that someone else can enjoy it as much as I did.
