Ivory lace and tulle modified A-line gown, scalloped V-neck bodice with delicate lace placement and picot trim, short puff sleeve with sheer bow tie and open keyhole back, dropped waistline accented by lace applique and tulle godets. From the designer: "This one is pure charm and delight. I kept thinking about the brio of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing across a stage…the way their silhouettes felt light even when the choreography was complicated. The puffed sleeve peeking over the shoulder brings a little theatrical romance, and the tiny French bow at the cuff is my wink to old Hollywood costuming. The dropped waist references the elongated proportions of the 1930s, while lace-on-lace appliqué creates texture the way layers of choreography create rhythm. Even the pico edge trimming is intentional and directional in outlining the silhouette like lattice-work, tracing the shape with a little bit of sartorial mischief. This gown is about motion, grace, and the idea that elegance can still have a sense of play.” Purchase a sketch of Fred A'Stares signed by Hayley Paige ________________________________ Silhouette: A-lineColors: Ivory/Ivory; Ivory/Honeyed Salt (shown) Sizes: Please refer to our Fleur Couture chartStyle Code: HP62661 Show more
