The Dress

Sarah Seven 'Christi' is a timeless wedding gown that will make you feel like your best self on your special day! Sarah Seven's 'Christi' is fitted throughout the top with short sleeves and a high-neck, and an open back for a statement. The bottom is a subtle flare with a center slit up the front. Wearing the 'Christi' on my wedding day made me feel comfortable (I bowled in it!), confident, and beautiful!
