This light and airy black chiffon evening gown can be worn to a formal summer event. The bodice is completely covered in hundreds of hand cut flower petals sewn on by hand with hundreds of grey and black crystals. The dress also features a detachable train that can be easily snapped on and off at the empire waist line. The gown and train are finished with a tiny rolled hem. It is fully lined and has a fully boned sewn-in corset with a grosgrain ribbon waist stay, so the dress can be worn comfortably without slipping down. The dress closes with an invisible zipper at the center back sewn in completely by hand.
