Maggie Sottero Bellevue Chantilly Lace Fit-and-Flare Wedding Gown

Chantilly Lace Without the Sparkle

Bellevue lets the intricate pattern of unembellished Chantilly lace create the detail rather than relying on beads or sequins. The sheer bodice reveals exposed boning beneath the lace, while the deep illusion sweetheart neckline adds definition to the fitted shape. The lace continues uninterrupted through the skirt before spreading into an extended illusion train with a delicate scalloped edge.

Transform the Gown with a Lace Cape and Hood

One of Bellevue's most distinctive styling options is the detachable Chantilly lace cape. A high-neck collar and soft tulle tie frame the neckline while the lace falls from the shoulders into a dramatic floor-length layer over the fitted gown. A coordinating detachable hood can be added for an even more striking look, giving the same dress an entirely different presence for the ceremony or portraits.

Add Romantic Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves

For added coverage without the volume of the cape, separate off-the-shoulder Chantilly lace sleeves extend the gown's lace pattern down the arms. Flared cuffs and button details give the sleeves a softer finish while leaving the sweetheart neckline visible.

The Dimitra Designs Experience

Bellevue offers several ways to create a bridal look from one fitted lace silhouette.
