Herrera skillfully incorporates a touch of feminine charm into the understated refinement of this fitted A-line gown. Soft ruffles delicately adorn the cap sleeves, and a partial peplum gracefully wraps around the waist, enhancing the gown's silhouette. The dress is exquisitely crafted from fluid, double-faced georgette and features a bateau-neck style, adding to its overall sophistication.
