Elizabeth Fillmore Empress Wedding Dress

I have never heard of this designer before, she is based in NYC.

 

I wish they had photographed the dress against a dark background to show it off better. I think it's so beautiful, I love the butterflies. If you zoom the photo you can really appreciate the details.

It appears to be a beautiful dress but the lighting in the photo is terrible.  The photographer didn't know what he was doing.

It is a pretty wedding dress but I don't like the open visual of the top. A wedding dress like this would be worn in a church service,

not appropriate with all that skin showing. (looks like totally backless)

Re: Elizabeth Fillmore Empress Wedding Dress

I love this style.

 

I'll have to take a closer look at the bodice, but, so far, it's a dress that I would choose.

 

As long as the bodice area is covered underneath.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Re: Elizabeth Fillmore Empress Wedding Dress

I think we should take up a collection so the model can get her hair done.....the hairstyle looks bedraggled and does nothing for the dress.

 

Oh yes, may be a half slip would also help for when she stands in front of the light.

 

Really...

Very elegant and a lovely dress. 
I thought we were commenting on the dress.

I just love it; it is very elegant and romantic looking.  I am so happy to see sleeves on wedding dresses again!

@ROMARY The bodice is lined, it's an illusion.

 

 

And just as a general comment, there are plenty of people who don't get married in a church. And any talented seamstress or designer could modify the back of the dress. Most wedding dresses are altered in many ways to suit the personal taste of the bride.

I don't like see-through dresses. Even if it is lined in a flesh tone the vibe is still see-through.
