Silk Dupioni Bridal Gown with Fantail Skirt
Silk Dupioni Bridal Gown with Fantail Skirt
The inspiration for this silk dupioni wedding dress came from two different formal gowns. The bodice features diagonal pleats forming a V shape at the base of the front and back necklines. Three bias bands nip the bodice in at the waist. When viewed from the front, the skirt appears to be a straight sheath. The surprise detail is a pleated insert at center back extending into a short train. Beaded trim accents the top of the pleats.
The gown that inspired the bodice was named #4 on InStyle Magazine's list of Best Dresses of the Decade 2000-2009. For a quick peek, click here.
