Zuhair Murad Shelby gown : $3200 + shipping

Exquisite strapless ruched bodice ballgown with floral details (2 pieces: a Trumpet Gown with Overskirt from Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 Bridal Collection!)Worn for a few hours on wedding day only and then drycleaned.

Have your cake and eat it too with two romantic looks/silhouettes. Ethereal, utterly luminous and timeless trumpet gown with dramatic ballgown train overskirt. Light as air jacquard printed silk organza trumpet gown with a flattering ruched, straight across neckline, featuring a showstopping removable ballgown overkirt train and satin bow belt. The photos above are of the actual gown. The editorial photos by Zuhair Murad do not accurately show how stunning and luminous the organza is, nor the lovely and uniquely feminine floral pattern randomly distributed throughout the organza. This gown is a modern, gorgeous classic that enables you to have the lush,airy ballgown silhouette as you walk down the aisle and then remove the overskirt at the reception for ease of movement and dancing.

The bodice is draped/ruched organza which provides a unique, ethereal texture and visual transition into the body of the trumpet. The bodice has a built in corset/boning and built in cups for support. The overskirt has a dramatic cathedral train with crinoline for airy fullness. The construction of this gown is absolutely EXQUISITE as you would expect from a ZM gown that retails for 12,500!-No seams are visible in the jacquard printed organza so only the beauty of the fabric leaves an impression! The silk organza is breathtaking, yet utterly modern in effect. A timeless, showstopping gown that has all the drama of a ballgown but instead of a 'ballerina" princess appearance, manages to convey elegance and majesty through its simplicity, proportion and focus on the fabric. (Last photo close-up shows how pattern in the silk jacquard appears in person/photos)
