Dream Dress Friday: Chantilly Dream

Who: Alvina Valenta style 9061
Why: A delicately embellished charmuse sheath with a Chantilly lace overlay.  While the chantilly lace and the natural waistband adds a vintage touch, the sheath cut is all modern, as is the unique tiered hem.

Charmuse and the sheath silhouette go hand in hand to provide an extremely flattering drape that also happens to be subtly sexy.  You can show your figure and still feel like yourself, not overexposed, since the lace softens a multitude of sins.  But of course this look is not for the shy.

The asymmetric embellishment on the bodice not over-the-top but rather subtle.
I love this gown for an equally modest bride: not afraid to show her femininity but at the same time not at all over-the-top with suits instead of tuxes for the men, perhaps at an art gallery venue or someplace off beat and inexpensive, knowing that the best is yet to come and ever after doesn't rest on a perfect beginning.
