The Inspiration: Vanessa Hudgens at the 2009 Oscars in a black Marchesa mermaid gown.
Vanessa made several worst dressed lists after wearing this little number critics called "creepy" and "too big". I agree that it is rather goth inspired!
This version mimics the goth feel but is softened significantly by the lace, which also mimics the flower motif. The rouching and waist detail allow the bodice to be more forgiving and the skirt is also less voluminous.
Hi,my name is Viola and I am WhimsyBride because I love ideas of whimsy, fashion, budget and approachability. Also I just really love pictures of beautiful dresses. I like to think that I'm sorting through all the best bridal and style inspiration so you don't have to!
