This illusion lace halter is so cute and fresh! The neckline has a soft floral detail and the side rouching along the bodice looks so comfortable and flattering.
Personal favorites from Carol Hannah 2012 collection...
Angel Oak, a tiered tulle skirt with uneven hem, feathery drape and gold sash.
Bayberry, a sweetheart neck gown with ruffle tiered skirt cascading from empire waist.
Birch, a lacy sweetheart neck gown with asymmetric origami handkerchief hem skirt and tulle underskirt.
Magnolia, a full strapless ball gown and almost crumb catcher style draped neckline detail.
Satin Leaf, a mermaid style gown with uneven flared skirt, sheer halter strap and lace applique throughout.
Silver Maple, a shimmering high waisted gown with unstructured half-bow detail at bodice.
Sugarberry, a mermaid gown with asymmetric illusion lace neckline and sleeve, probably my personal favorite of the bunch!
Sweetbay, a layered organza gown with crumb catcher style bodice and uneven handkerchief hem layered skirt.
Sweetbay Short, a similar organza dress with crumb catcher style origami bodice and short, uneven handkerchief hem skirt, with silver sequin wrap, my other personal favorite of the collection!
Who: Maggie Sottero style Vanessa
Why: A gathered and wide banded empire style gown with intricately beaded focal point, which flatters and shapes without showing it all off.
Draped chiffon is both goddess-like ethereal and formal while being unfussy. The A-line silhouette is universally flattering but this particular style looks great on plusses.
