Stylist's Tip
The statement bow at the back is the defining feature of this gown—it creates incredible visual drama and ensures you'll be unforgettable coming and going. Keep accessories minimal and let the gown be the statement; consider a sleek low bun or side-swept waves to showcase the stunning back detail, and opt for strappy heels that complement the gown's elegant lines.

Helpful Information
How does the plunging V-neckline work with different bust sizes, and is additional support needed?
The plunging V-neckline is designed with ruched detailing and structured panels that provide built-in support and coverage, making it surprisingly versatile across different bust sizes. The ruching helps secure the neckline in place while the crisscross back straps distribute weight evenly across the shoulders. For additional support and peace of mind, many wearers choose to use fashion tape along the neckline edges or wear a plunge bra designed for deep V-necklines. Our fit verification team considers your measurements and can recommend specific undergarment solutions or sizing adjustments to ensure you feel secure and confident throughout your event.
Will the cascading train and statement bow make it difficult to sit or move around comfortably?
The statement bow and train are positioned to create dramatic visual impact while remaining practical for wear. The bow sits at the lower back rather than interfering with seating, and the cascading train flows naturally from the fitted silhouette. While the train does add elegance and presence, it's designed to move with you rather than restrict movement. Many wearers find that practicing walking and sitting in the gown beforehand helps build confidence. If you anticipate extensive dancing or prefer maximum mobility, you can have the train bustled by a local seamstress—though most find the train manageable and love the dramatic effect it creates in photos and while walking.
