Sottero and Midgley, Thomas

Elegant & timeless Sottero & Midgley “Thomas” ball gown wedding dress featuring a criss-cross off-the-shoulder portrait neckline, beautifully structured bodice & dramatic train. This now-discontinued designer style is incredibly flattering & works beautifully for many wedding themes—from traditional church, classic ballroom or romantic garden ceremonies.

Gown features floral novelty organza embellished with caviar glitter beading over glitter tulle, creating beautiful sparkle without sewn on crystals that do fall off. The gown photographs beautifully and the shimmer and layering of fabrics create incredible movement and dimension.

The neckline frames the shoulders and collarbone beautifully, creating a romantic and sophisticated bridal image. The fitted bodice provides support and shape (see second to last picture) while the full skirt flows into a classic ball gown silhouette. The soft Ivory over Champagne color combination gives the dress warmth and depth, making the floral pattern especially luminous in natural and/or indoor lighting.
