Contrast

I love the contrast between the shiny satin bodice and soft organza skirt.

The princess seamed bodice has a beaded trim scoop neckline - although actually I think its more of a wide boatneck - that converts into a deep v and the back, finished in buttons.  It is asymmetrically rouched to the side, with a big satin bow accent.  The skirt is a clean, princess seam A-line style.  I love the picture of the back side of the gown because the smooth and simple A-line shape is very substantial and well-built.
