Exactly as worn by Jessica Chastain (she added her own belt) and which landed her on best-dressed lists. It is perfect for the ceremony of the wedding or a beautiful reception! It looks stunning in real life and in pictures.
This tea-length dress retailed for $9.5K and comes from Resort'13 collection. It is a confection of champagne, gold and pearl embellishments in a universally flattering silhouette. It is a masterpiece of design and construction! The dress is supremely flattering, easy to wear and sparkles as the light hits the embellishments.
