Sylvia Bataille is beautifully restrained from the front and spectacular from behind.

The strapless ballgown is cut in structured ivory satin, with a sweetheart neckline, defined waist and full skirt creating a clean, timeless silhouette.

Turn the gown around and its extraordinary train becomes the focal point: a vast sweep of the same weighted satin, scattered with oversized three-dimensional flowers, leaves and botanical motifs.

The contrast gives the bride the simplicity of a clean satin gown and the impact of couture detailing exactly where it will be seen as she walks away.
