Christos, Carissa

The Christos Carissa wedding gown - designed by Amsale Aberra under the Christos label - is a timeless design, with an ethereal twist. The Christos Carissa gown is all about graceful femininity, combining the ethereal look of a tulle gown with the textural beauty of lace. Ideal for garden weddings, formal ceremonies, or any bride seeking a romantic, elegant look.

Key Features:

1. Silhouette:
• The gown features a fit-and-flare (modified A-line) silhouette, gently hugging the bodice and hips before flowing out gracefully into a soft, sweeping skirt.
• The structure flatters a wide range of body types, offering both definition and movement.

2. Fabric:
• Made from layers of lightweight tulle, the gown has an airy and floaty quality.
• Underneath the tulle is a silk organza lining, providing subtle luster and a refined base for the transparent layers.

3. Bodice:
• The bodice is crafted with a sweetheart neckline and features illusion lace straps that continue into a semi-sheer back.
• Delicate Alençon lace appliqués are meticulously hand-placed across the bodice, extending just past the natural waistline for a soft transition into the skirt.

4. Back Detail:
• The illusion back is a signature feature—sheer tulle with lace detailing, fastened with a line of covered buttons running down the spine.
• The back closure adds a traditional touch.

5. Skirt & Train:
• The skirt flows into a chapel-length train, softly cascading with layers of tulle.
• Lace appliqués are lightly scattered down the skirt, becoming sparser toward the hem for an organic, blooming effect.
