Trend Report
“The most flattering gown designs show off a bride’s shape and figure, but in a soft, classic, and more romantic style,” says Terri Espy of Gown Boutique of Charleston, who carries Amy Kuschel’s gown above. This gown adds length to your torso with its V-neck and wide straps, is forgiving at the waist with its draping, and gently accentuates curves with its full-bodied fabric and flared train. “It’s sexy in a proper and modest way,” adds Terri.
