Jorge Manuel Silk Shantung mermaid triangular sleeves and key-hole back dress with heavily encrusted circular geometric shapes on bodice and waist; hand-embroidered crystals at center of circular details with sweep train”

Fit to flare in silk shantung, and the kind of construction that makes this fit flattering! The key-hole back is gorgeous in photos. This dress was both traditional (it looks like a GOWN coming down the aisle) and modern (not strapless! not generic or plain!). It was extremely wearable – comfortable throughout the ceremony and the three hour reception.

This design was new as of spring 2012 – I bought it straight off the runway in February for my December wedding. It is made entirely in the US – Jorge’s studio in Miami does all design and construction of his dresses. An awesome up and coming designer!

Having now gotten it back from the cleaner – it is spotless. I was expecting some remaining dirt on the bottom of the train (the only real wear I could tell after the wedding) – but it is SPOTLESS. Love my dry cleaners :)
