Wallis Simpson combines a fitted, figure-defining mermaid with dramatic detachable pieces that give the bride two very different ways to wear it.

For the full look, a sculptural puff sleeve organza bolero frames the shoulders, while a detachable satin choker adds a striking high-neck detail.

Remove both and the clean strapless silhouette underneath is revealed.

The embroidered tulle corset features floral appliqué over a nude lining with visible boning for definition, before the fitted skirt breaks into cascading organza ruffles that spiral towards the floor.

The contrast between the close fitting body and dramatic movement of the train makes this a gown with impact from every angle.
