Leah Princess Gown

The Leah pairs an ice blue base with hand placed floral motifs in copper, navy and rose that trail from the bodice to the hem like falling confetti. Those appliques are textured rather than printed, so they shimmer as you walk.

A strapless column cut lengthens the whole frame, and pale blue reads fresh next to a room full of black. The structured bodice stays put through dinner, speeches and dancing, which is what gala dresses are actually judged on.

Sweep the hair back, keep the shoes metallic, and enjoy the entrance.
