The Dress

From the website:
Soft elegance takes center stage with the Ophelia gown. Ophelia showcases a luxuriously wrapped bodice that gathers into a handcrafted organza garden rose at the waist before gracefully spilling into an A-line skirt, complete with a captivating front slit. Designed for modern romantics seeking both a firm fit and a touch of drama, the Ophelia gown offers a fully structured silhouette that embraces the contours of the body while allowing the skirt to flourish in all its splendor.
