This beautiful couture gown by Demetrios was and still is one of the most popular gowns created by the fabulous Italian designer. It was featured on the cover of multiple Bridal magazines in 2005, and by 2006 could not be found anywhere in the US. It ws discontinued in 2007. It is a beautiful ivory gown with an intricate vine embroidery throughout. It is very discrete, but offers depth to the gown. The bodice is a corset style, but with thick ties on the back so that absolutely no skin is shown through from beneath. The bodice has a slight sweetheart neckline, but is almost straight across above the bust. The slight V at the bottom of the bodice helps it to blend seamlessly into the ball gown french taffeta/silk skirt, which falls to the floor. The back of the gown has a triple bustle, Yes, a triple bustle which has the same embroidered vine scheme, as well as french silk flowers which elegantly hold the bustles in place. The cathedral length train flows behind with ease and more embroidery of vines again to add depth and peak out beneath the folds falling from the last bustle. After your ceremony, the bottom most bustle can lift up and attach to the top most bustle in order to shorten everything so you don't need to worry about carrying the train all night while trying to dance with your new hubby. Down the back of the train are 3 large flowers with the palest hint of pink in the center. I have included the original picture from the manufacturer to show how gorgeous the back of the dress is.  The wedding was cancelled before the order had been shipped to me. This dress is absolutely breath taking and the pictures don't do it justice. If you want a timeless dress that people will remember for years, then this is the dress for you. This dress was purchased at Low's Bridal in Brinkley, Arkansas. It's the largest bridal store in the South and was featured in the April 2011 edition of Southern Living Magazine.
