One of my favorite fabrics to work with is silk dupion (or dupioni). Aka heavyweight Shantung or raw silk, it has a marvelous hand versatile enough to shape sheath silhouettes as well as ball gown styles. 'Giselleque', the gown above and below is an empire with modified mermaid skirt. I've given it two different looks here with the tulled pouf hat and below with a traditional veil tacked to the back of a bun for a more classic look.
You can see this gown with more versions of head chic up close and in more detail on my website, Amy-Jo Tatum Bridal Couture
