Terani Couture Ivory & Black Strapless Mermaid Gown, Size 12, Glitter Ribbon & Satin Bows, Worn Once

A playful statement gown from a Brooklyn boutique, worn once in April 2010 as a wedding dress. It’s a bridal-white look that isn’t too serious: soft ivory satin-finish fabric with rows of sparkling black glitter ribbon threaded through ivory fabric loops, framed in fine embroidered stitching, from neckline to hem. Three black satin bows run down the front. The fitted mermaid shape flares at the hem, so it moves beautifully. Includes a photo of the dress being worn at the 2010 wedding, so you can see the fit and how the bows fall. Perfect for: a white party, rehearsal dinner, courthouse wedding or vow renewal, engagement or anniversary photos, a bridal shower, a black-and-white gala, a photoshoot or any event where you want to stand out.
