This dress is classic Vera Wang -- a strapless A-line ballgown that is simple enough to let your own beauty shine through, but absolutely lovely in the details. An asymmetric flower/vine pattern winds down around the gown, accentuating your waist and giving the dress a modern-yet-romantic feeling. The teeny tiny crystals give a subtle hint of sparkle. There's a manageable, chapel-length train that looks beautiful with either a French or an English bustle.
Vera's amazing construction means that everything falls into place just the way it's supposed to. There's some light boning around the bodice, and an underskirt of many, many layers of airy tulle.
