Rouched & Embellished Bodices

These gowns have some of the loveliest and most intricate bodices.  I actually didn't realize until the last minute that they all happen to be rouched bodices with some sort of embellishment, so I sort of did a theme here without intending.  Enjoy!

This lovely Enzoani gown features a strapless sweetheart neckline with lovely wrapped bands at the bust.  The no-waist design is gathered in a starburst rouching along the center with a stunning beaded focal point.

This Alfred Angelo stunner features an strapless sweetheart neckline with lots of asymmetric detail.  A lone crumb catcher ruffle along the bust gives neckline interest while the bodice has a wrapped effect that is anchored by an asymmetrically placed embellished focal point.  There is something about this gown that screams "Amsale" to me.

This Rosa Perrone gown with its roucheding and full ruffle going down the bodice is just fun fun fun!  I like that the ruffle motif is repeated in the skirt.

……………

This Blue by Enzoani gown has a soft sweetheart strapless neckline with just a hint of the sheer embellished panel peeking over the top.  (I love the concentric pattern of the embellishment.)  The neckline features a high empire detail with a rouched bodice to the natural waist, finished in a sweet asymmetric embellishment which anchors the drape of the skirt.

This Pronovias gown is similar to the first Enzoani gown with lots of beautiful draping, starburst rouchng, and a centrally placed embellishment.  This one has embellished straps and a scoop neckline.
