The Dress

Channel your inner ballerina with this tulle-and-crystal A-line gown from Maggie Sottero! Our Shelby gown evokes the romance and lavishness of the Belle Époque with exquisitely embellished sleeves and an abundance of tulle. Crystal appliques and a Grecian-inspired wraparound bodice emphasize the grace and allure of your natural waistline, and a flattering V-neck and plunging back add a touch of sexy to the gown’s ethereal softness. This union of classic lines and Gilded-Era romance makes for a sumptuous and art-inspired dress—a thespian by nature! Our model looks radiant with her hair in loose waves, but a polished chignon or elaborate ballerina bun would complement the gown’s sense of occasion. Finish the look with delicate flats or perfect pumps. You’ll look pretty and sophisticated, sweet and decadent!

I purchased this dress as a sample from a bridal shop; several photos are directly from Maggie Sottero's website while several photos and the video were taken from the bridal shop from where I purchased. The gown is beautiful, but I found another I fell in love with. This was a sample gown from the bridal shop, and has never been worn in a wedding. I hope you fall in love with it and walk it down the aisle; it deserves to be worn and loved!
