This gown is one-of-a-kind, and I absolutely love it. I bought the dress at Lulu's Boutique in Dallas, TX for $808, however, at the time, the dress was strapless. My religion required a modest dress, so I worked with a designer there to come up with an elegant, timeless, and glamorous look that was unique to only me. I loved how the dress accentuated my body in a sophisticated, tasteful way, and also that it included unique pleating on the train and a modern half bow detail on the back of the gown. The fabric is of high quality sleek satin. The designer's web site describes the dress as "This trumpet gown is an illustration of the term, "simple but elegant". There is a touch of Swarovski crystal beadwork on the front of the waistband and a full bow and sash trailing down the back. The back of the trumpet skirt is pleated and extends into a semi-cathedral length train."
**To be clear, the dress is no longer strapless. I added the bodice with cap sleeves. I included the pre-modification, strapless picture only the feature the belt detail.
