Strapless Satin Mermaid Gown with Draping

Though Liz’s original vision for her wedding day look was all about vintage-inspired romance, a trip to Christina’s Bridal in Andover, Mass. quickly changed all of that. “I really thought I wanted cap sleeves, a delicate neckline and a slight flare, something vintage and romantic,” says Liz, “but when I tried that style on at my first dress visit, ready to proclaim I had found my dress, it looked terrible!” After trying on several other styles more suited to her petite frame, Liz fell in love with a simple, elegant mermaid gown by Marisa Bridals with a strapless neckline and subtle draped detailing. “I was shocked by what a difference it made,” says Liz. “It was clear that I needed to have a form-fitting dress and I was surprised by how much I loved it.”
