The Dress

Description from Jenny Yoo:
This gown has a sleek fit and flare silhouette with a deep V neck in Italian crepe. Delicate princess seams throughout the bodice and skirt create a flattering and statuesque figure. Elegant covered buttons cascade from the low V back all the way to the edge of the court length train. Finley comes with a sheer cape which is removable and can also be ordered separately.

My take:
I loved this style because its both elegant and modern. The fabric is a slightly stretchy but just-structured-enough crepe that I found flattering and comfortable. I especially loved the V back with covered buttons that run the length of the dress, and the flattering princess seams that run down the bust and hips. It comes with a removable sheer cape that attaches at the shoulders, which I wore instead of a veil and removed for dinner and dancing. I would love for this beautiful dress to have a second life with a new owner!
