Adrianna Papell’s 40417 dress is ALL about versatility and we are here for it!
This slimming fit and flare silhouette has a gorgeous leaf motif that trails off into godets at the skirt. With a V neckline and V back, dress 40417 features a detachable cape that mimics a sheared flutter sleeve to provide coverage but without the restrictions of a fully attached sleeve.
What Makes Her Special:
When we first start working with our moms, grandmoms and aunts who are looking for that one gown for their special day, we discuss their desires and needs in a dress. One of the most often requested things is some type of sleeve, whether it be for coverage or comfort. But, committing to a full or ¾ length sleeve can be uncomfortable and restrictive in many circumstances. This is why we are huge fans of this Platinum Evening gown from Adrianna Papell!
40417 Dress Details
This gown adapts to your needs with a beautifully embellished cape that doesn’t look matronly as some caped pieces sometimes do. The cape attaches to the wide straps by a series of hooks and eyes making the piece easily removable so the wearer can adjust her look during the event. Having such a versatile gown makes it easy to change the level of formality during your big day. Leave the cape on for the ceremony and photos for a more formal look but then remove after you get to the reception for a more relaxed vibe for those candid reception photos. Or, keep it on for the entire event if it’s more comfortable for you.
Not only is this dress beautiful and adaptable to your comfort and level of formality, but 40417 also cut in 16 different colors to easily match any bridal aesthetic. Another major benefit of choosing this gown is the overall comfort of the dress – the underlying fabric is a comfort stretch making this an easy gown to wear on such a long day.
Due to the beaded motif on the gown, we suggest going minimal with your accessories. We suggest staying with the leaf motif with your jewelry to tie the whole look together.
A necklace and earring set with a dangling teardrop will help highlight the deep V neck of the gown.
