ESMERALDA
a two-way mermaid & A-line gown with illusion lace sleeves
A breathtaking, romance-infused two-way gown created for the bride who wants two dramatic looks in one, with a regal, vintage-inspired finish. Designed with a flattering plunging V-neckline edged in scalloped lace and framed by semi-sheer illusion long sleeves, the fitted bodice is embellished with ornate, baroque-style lace appliqué, fine beadwork and glistening sequins. Below the defined waist, a sleek mermaid skirt of sparkling lace flares gracefully at the knee, with botanical motifs that trail down to a lace-trimmed hem. A detachable layer of soft, lightweight tulle sweeps over the skirt to create a graceful A-line silhouette, finished with a scalloped, beaded lace edge that spreads into a sweeping, cathedral-inspired train. Remove it and the gown transforms into a figure-hugging mermaid for the evening reception. The back reveals a beautiful surprise: a sheer illusion back with intricate lace detailing, finished with a line of covered buttons that runs from nape to waist. Opulent yet effortlessly elegant, it is an exquisite choice for grand English manor house weddings, candlelit winter celebrations, or wood-panelled stately homes with plenty of old-world grandeur.
