The Manhattan Gown is an exquisite couture piece. Silk chiffon is hand-embroidered with hundreds of delicate 3-dimensional bouquets, each flower is handmade from fine thread and accented with a faux pearl. Undulating stems rendered in glass beads, sequins and thread are accented with embroidered leaves and beaded flowers. The front features a sweetheart lining and bateau neck, and the back and sleeves are sheer. The scalloped sleeves are edged with a narrow border of beads. A densely embroidered band encircles the waist, fastening at the centre back with an invisible zip. Fine silk rouleau ties finished with handmade petals secure the open back. The full A-line skirt spreads out from the hip into a regal train.
