FEELING ROYAL IN PRONOVIAS 2017 COLLECTION

  

       

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?

As soon as I spotted this dress, it was love at first site. It reminded me of classic Audrey Hepburn. A subtle mixture of her regal role in Roman Holiday, and high fashion quirk of Sabrina. To my delight, the sumptuous gown is completely detachable, making it decadent while remaining impulsively practical.  

The entire dress is hand beaded with delicately hand sewn lace over gentle stretch tulle. 

A dress fit for any modern queen, it is by far the dress I was ready to buy and take home. Despite having no upcoming nuptial, such a dress can make any girl feel weak in the knees.

EFFERVESCENT LOVE?

I imagine if I were a mermaid, and gave up my fishtail to marry a prince, this would be my dress. Such a magical dress that oozes romantic bubbles. The optical illusion of strategically placed lace creates a whimsical feeling of dreams. 

Always dreaming of a princess cut gown, I was quite surprised how flattering this form fitting shape hugged my particular body type. 

 Oddly enough, I felt more like a "bride" in this gown. The first dress, left me majestically regal, hearing trumpets and red carpets rolling by my glass slippers, but this one was much softer. 

Quietly glamorous, the innocence of the dress makes it feel intimate and romantic.

   PRONOVIAS 2017 COLLECTION

The Pronovias bride is dressed in light fabrics, flowing lines, and an air of contemporary elegance. Nothing is ever trying too hard, and comfort is the secret to ultimate beauty. 

The 2017 Collection contains three dominating styles. 

Empire Dresses, Mermaid Dresses, and dresses of great volumes. The maison's favorite optical effect is delicate lace applied over tulle. 

 DRAMA IN THE BACK

Many gowns feature dramatic displays of jeweled embellishments, embroidery, or appliqués of plumeti tulle. 

DREAMY TRAINS

Dramatic, romantic, and whimsical, trains are effortlessly placed on gowns providing the right touch of glamour and allure. Some of the more dramatic trains have cleverly been created to be removable.

IMAGINATIVE DECORATIONS

Jeweled embellishments, embroidery, and details in gold celebrate the star color of 2017. Adding just the right touch of magic, childhood dreams of fairytale weddings can be spotted. 

PURE CHARM

All designs are made to flatter the figure, with light touches of lace, and elegant chantilly gently cascading like flower petals. 

LACE GEOMETRY

Lace has been gently manipulated into a contemporary formation of geometric shapes. It is a playful marriage of something old, with something quite new. 

STRETCH CHIFFON

An evolution of crystal tulle into gauze, creates the perfect effect of romantic second skin.
