Gretchen by Maggie Sottero

Gretchen leaves the waist where it is and widens in one unbroken sweep to the hem. The neckline cuts down in a V, which lengthens the neck, and the straps are two fine cords, barely there. The organza is crisp and sheer at once, so it holds a shape and still lets light in. The hem runs out into a chapel train, the shorter of the two usual ones, and the back fastens with buttons down the spine, which is the side the ceremony sees.
