Jin Wang Open-Back Fit-and-Flare Dress

When it came to finding the perfect dress for her midwinter wedding, Bess was willing to give just about any design a try. “I knew I wanted something elegant, yet understated enough to fit the casual nature of our venue,” she says. She found just that in a Jin Wang gown that boasted a high neck, button detailing and an open back that led to panels of layered silk fabric. “It was important to me to be comfortable and to be able to dance with ease," Bess says. "This dress was perfect!”
