Misty tulle and frosted taffeta are seamlessly blended in this strapless A-line gown with gently curved neckline. Alcee features a hand-draped tulle bust and bodice, and is framed with a beautifully hand-beaded band under bust that trails down the side bodice. Elegant beading highlights the remarkable side draped pick-up skirt featuring a chapel length train. A functional corset back completes this stunning gown. Removable straps included. 

Y21141 – Immaculata

Immaculata creates a striking result in misty tulle and royal taffeta. The beautifully hand-draped bodice features a striking sweetheart neckline and hand-beaded dropped waistline.

Layers of ruffled tulle adorn the A-line skirt with delicately beaded lace appliqués scattered throughout the tiers. Immaculata also features a functional corset back and a chapel length train. Removable straps included.

Y21144 – Vita

Leave them breathless with show stopping glamour. Vita is a strapless modified mermaid gown in fantasy organza and features a subtly curved neckline with asymmetrical draping through the bust.
