How It Wears
There is a clear change in structure at the basque waist. Above it, exposed boning keeps the corset defined while the sheer construction lets the lace pattern remain visible. Below it, layers of tulle and organza create the volume instead of relying on a heavy fabric to hold the skirt out. Choosing the lined bodice changes the amount of sheerness without changing the shape of the gown.
What You Notice First
The lace is what gives this gown its point of view. The Blush and Green Lace/Ivory colorway makes the floral pattern a much stronger part of the look, while Ivory Lace/Ivory keeps the palette traditional. Glitter tulle is another choice you can make with the designer, so the skirt can carry visible sparkle or stay softer and quieter.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
A strapless gown does not have to stay strapless if coverage is part of what you want. At Dimitra Designs, our bridal stylists can bring detachable sleeves and fabric swatches into the appointment so you can see another direction with the gown. Our master seamstresses can then evaluate what sleeves, straps or added coverage this design will allow. Alterations are booked separately and remain entirely your choice.
Our online collection showcases the full designer catalog, but in-store availability varies. Contact our Greenville, SC location to confirm if your favorite gown is available for your visit!
