SAMPLE GOWN - FR40/AU10
Make an unforgettable entrance. True to its name, the Look At Me gown by Donatelle Godart balances breathtaking drama with exquisite, handcrafted detailing, making it a standout choice for the modern bride who desires a truly show-stopping silhouette.
The bodice is a masterpiece of contrast, featuring a daring plunge neckline and a mirrored open back, elegantly offset by voluminous long sleeves crafted from delicate embroidered silk chiffon. The waist is cinched by a beautifully textured statement waistband that flows seamlessly into a luxurious, liquid-like 100% silk crepe skirt. For a flawless finishing touch, exactly 11 classic fabric-covered buttons trail from the lower back waist, adding a refined nod to traditional couture.
Feminine, glamorous, and immaculately tailored, this gown moves with effortless grace from the aisle to the evening reception.
The Details:
-
