This is an absolutely GORGEOUS deceptively simple fit-to-flare (though it really just follows the lines of your body) Lela Rose wedding gown. The gown itself is silk crepe with a silk lining, with an off the shoulder neckline and sort of cap sleeves that sit lower than a normal cap sleeve (so none of that weird cap sleeve chub that can happen with other styles). The neckline and the back of the dress have the most beautiful metallic silver lace that really pops against the white of the dress. The metallic lace in back makes a small, subtly shiny train for some added drama.
I bought the dress at Hitched in Washington, D.C. The saleswoman brought it in and it looked slinky on the hanger and I wasn't sure it would look good but it's incredibly flattering. There's draping around the waist, and the lining helps so that you feel like you're wearing a real piece of clothing and people can't see through! The good part is, though, the dress remains very light and would be a fabulous dancing dress.
I absolutely LOVE this dress but decided to go another direction in the end because of venue considerations. I would be so happy to see someone else get married in this lovely gown.
