sheer bodice wedding dress Shimmery Corset Tulle Beach Heavenly Pink LaDivine by Cinderella Divine CB125W mermaid Embroidery bead sheer bodice open

A discussion of 1800s textiles would be incomplete without mention of the resurgence of French silk

In misses and some plus sizes, this beautiful long designer dress has an asymmetrical neckline on the ruched bodice for a truly upscale look at prom, galas, and other black-tie events

Completely completed in rich jewels and soft pastels, it is a versatile option for those who desire to have a tailored profile along with a bulky finish to the gown

Notice how the ruffles and embellishments highlighted womens glorious figures, even from behind

Oh, and a "VIP" lanyard (I made mine with glitter paper and a keychain) tied it all together

Like many dresses that appear deep purple onscreen, it appears considerably lighter and closer to raspberry-pink when seen offscreen
