Oscar de la Renta 22EE35 Silk Organza
Absolutely beautiful Oscar de la Renta "Clarissa" gown. Silk organza pleates with biased cut ruffle tiers. It's VERY light and breathes well. After all of the dresses I tried on, I literally jumped around in this one because it is so light. The "fit" part of the fit-to-flare does NOT making walking difficult at all, and flare is very gentle starting from about mid-thigh. I wore a sash to accentuate my waistline, but the corset really does a perfect job at holding everything up. (I never once had to pull up my dress.)
Wearing this dress made me feel elegant and stylish, but I was comfortable, as well! I didn't feel bound up in it, like I couldn't move or I would ruin it if I got too excited which really made me confident and allowed me to enjoy the experience instead of worry about how I looked. I wore it for an hour on the beach and then an hour in a cobblestone courtyard before changing into my reception dress. The gown is in practically perfect condition. I want another bride to be able to enjoy their special day with as much style and confidence as I did!
