www.womanthismonth.com 53 May 2015 Marchesa innovates with a shorter version of its long number. Ankle length is perfect if you want to go for an unusual effect without being too wild. This dress is very feminine with its full skirt and lace sleeves; a fresh call on wedding gowns with a fashionable twist. Vera Wang is the queen of the original wedding gown designers. This year, instead of going for embroidery and lace, like so many others, she opted for tulle frocks playing with the fabric around the body as if feeling its movements. Structured fabrics and impeccable cut are the key in this gown from Oscar de La Renta. The strapless dress is definitely a girly favourite and the sequin application along the dress skirt and top, emphasises the outline. This is a re-interpretation of the mermaid gown. The piece is for bold girls in grand weddings. La Sposa offers a selection of voluminous numbers. The lace application is more traditional here and the attention goes to the long dragging hem. You can find CH Carolina Herrera, Oscar de La Renta, Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier and La Sposa at the Esposa store in Dubai (www.esposagroup.com).
