Justin Alexander Lace Applique Sheath-Style Gown

With two distinct venues on the agenda, Maria needed a versatile gown that could handle a formal Catholic ceremony and a backyard fete. “Comfort was essential to me, but I also wanted to keep things elegant,” Maria says. “I was looking for something in ivory with lace and for the lightest gown I could find, since I would be outside in June for much of the day.” She found the perfect match in a Justin Alexander design, a timeless sheath-style gown with a champagne slip, an airy overlay adorned with beaded lace appliques and classic cap sleeves. For a hint of sparkle, she added an Enzoani belt, and rounded out the look with a fingertip-length veil with embellished edging.
