Richenza by Donna Salado Bridal

Richenza ends above the ankle, the way a registry-office gown does. The neckline opens in one wide round curve, and the sleeves are their own piece, worn with the gown or left off. The lace carries the pattern, worked open so what is under it still reads. The hem stops above the ankle, so the shoes are part of the outfit, and the back fastens with buttons down the spine, which is the side the ceremony sees.
