Fit & Construction Details
Asymmetrical ruching wraps across the corset bodice, creating definition before the skirt expands into full ball gown volume. Taffeta has the body needed to hold the sculpted pickups rather than letting them collapse into soft folds, giving the skirt its distinctive shape. The detachable straps allow the neckline to shift from off-the-shoulder to strapless without changing the structure underneath.
The Skirt Changes Everything
The pickups make this gown noticeably different from a traditional smooth ball gown. Sections of taffeta are lifted into large, dimensional folds across the skirt, allowing the fabric's sheen to catch the light at different angles. Paired with the ruched bodice, it gives the gown a deliberately dramatic shape without relying on lace or beading to create the impact.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
This is a gown worth trying more than one way. During your Dimitra Designs appointment, your bridal stylist can help you compare the strapless and off-the-shoulder looks and talk through the sheer versus fully lined bodice options. We measure your bust, waist and hip, order from Stella York's size chart, and our master seamstresses can complete the final fit in-house. Alterations are booked separately after the gown arrives.
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!
