Francesca Miranda dress that works great for a ceremony and reception. I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on two dresses so I went for this unique style consisting of a form-fitting gown and an overskirt. I wore it with the overskirt throughout the ceremony and dinner but took the skirt off to dance (and dance I did until 5am!)
Price: $8,700 at Panache NYC. This one is custom made and therefore more exclusive and expensive at the time of purchase.
Includes: Gown + Overskirt + Veil
Material: The gown is made out of a gorgeous flower fabric imported from Italy (no longer available) and hand-stitched stones that make it shimmer at night. The corset is slightly sheer below the bust as you can see in the picture. The detachable skirt transforms the dress from a ceremony to reception gown.
I'm 5'6 and wore 4 inch heels (so keep in mind it is long.)
