Draped Chiffon Gown by Valentino

You can save a lot of money on your wedding gown if you branch out into the world of non-wedding dress shops. You cannot, however, usually save a lot of money on Valentino. But right now there’s a sale, and a dress that is fairytale wedding perfect, even if it isn’t actually a “wedding” dress.

Holy perfection. Honestly, this dress is amazing. It takes a lot of things that I’m not always sure about and makes them inarguably fabulous. Jewel adornment, grecian draping, ankle lengths, these are not a few of my favorite things, but their combination on this dress is positively ideal. The slim bodice  with its chiffon overlayers will look great on anyone, and the belted waist and voluminous (but not too voluminous) skirt are also super flattering. The length is just right to let a pair of fabulous shoes peek out. Oh, and just wait til you see the back:

Elegant, delicate, and gorgeous. I love the way the skirt dips lower in the back. If you wore flats, or are, uh, vertically challenged, there might be a small sweep. And, like I said,this little bit of dress paradise is on sale. But only in a size 6, and only until tomorrow morning, so get on it. Available for $2,498 from Gilt.
