Designers description: This exclusive 'Ivory' heavy silk satin gown features a low back to waist, feature capped and fitted sleeves, and a decadent full length full circle train.
Designed to emphasis and elongate the form it features a striking 'petal' hem to knee to showcase statement heels.
As with all of Johanna Johnson's exclusive designs this gown is lined in 100% silk and moulded into one complete piece for a luxury finish and drape.
Hem is finished to a 47" length from waist to floor at centre front of skirt.
All Gowns come with finger loops, hook & bustle options, and cotton gloves for dressing.
All Johanna Johnson gowns are held under strict copyright, are made of 100% silk and entirely 'Made in Australia'.
My thoughts: One of the highlights of this dress besides the low V back, is the slit in front. Creates this draping high-low front hem that looks so sexy and elegant when one walks or sits. A great way to show off a little leg and some beautiful shoes. Not to mention the train is stunning. Mine was custom made with the cap sleeves embellished with the same jewels as the Austen Belt (that I also have and has never been worn.. bundle pricing available) Also, a simple stitched can be added very easily to make a more modest bust (higher V neckline) or left out for a deeper V, more revealing neckline.
Personally, I think its a very feminine fit and the model online DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE. I think having a little curve (the model is very straight) fills this dress in nicely for that "old hollywood siren" vibe.
Closing Notes- As a result of attending a very intimate trunk show, Johanna discounted my gown from $5500USD to $4160USD (receipt available). I am offering this custom, one of a kind, never been worn gown at half the price. Including a free veil valued at $520 (see below)
Also, I do not have pictures of ME in this dress other than trying on the floor model in the bridal shop (which is larger in size than mine as it is the floor model and is a slightly darker ivory, I think, than mine. The silk can slightly vary from batch to batch but it is the same dress). Point is, I do not have any beautifully styled, in a dress altered to my body, professional photos of this dress since I never wore this. I apologize for not having great picutes and will do what I can to help you understand the dress and all its potential. Also, remeber mine has the custom embellishments on cap sleeves that the floor model does not have.
Thank you for looking!
