MARCHESA NOTTE Cranberry Red Silk Chiffon Strapless Evening Gown Satin Bodice S8

Known as the "Bow Bust Gown," this exquisite evening gown from Marchesa Notte has been worn by celebrities including Taylor Swift. It is an Empire style dress characterized by it's high waistline, coming just below the bust, from which the full skirt hangs loosely. This dress is executed in a cranberry red silk chiffon skirt with a bodice wrapped in silk satin forming a large, asymmetrical bow. On the inside of the dress is a waist-length foundation with flexible bones that is also satin and finished just as nicely as the outside of the dress. The dress and foundation close with a back zipper. You'll find that the fabrics, details, and workmanship on this gown are comparable to a true couture gown, qualifying it as "demi-couture."
