Embellished lace and tulle dropped waist ballgown, feminine square neckline and low open back, elongated bodice with pearl trim accent, waterfall basque waistline and full skirt with swiss dot and chapel train. From the designer: "It was only a matter of time before Swiss dot made an appearance. I’ve always loved the charm of the fabric, but it usually leans toward something soft and whimsical. For this gown I wanted to flip that expectation entirely and push it into a much more seductive direction. The push-up neckline and dramatic dropped waist give the silhouette a real sense of va-va-voom, almost like the elongated proportions you see in late-1920s couture. Designers like Madeleine Vionnet were masters of this kind of line, letting garments skim the body in a way that felt both elegant and quietly daring. The pearl detailing echoes the Swiss dot motif but also helps shape the bodice, guiding the eye through the curves of the design. I spent an unreasonable amount of time experimenting with the appliqué placement on this one—sometimes you really do have to let the lace tell you where it wants to live. The result feels vintage but fresh at the same time, like the moment when a ballroom door opens and someone makes their entrance.” Purchase a sketch of Prima Entrata signed by Hayley Paige ________________________________ Silhouette: BallgownColors: Ivory/Ivory; Ivory/Nude (shown) Sizes: Please refer to our Fleur Couture chartStyle Code: HP62673
