The gardenia flower is deeply beloved by many for its velvet-soft petals and intoxicating fragrance – its legacy is one symbolizing love’s transformative power to make you feel like you’re somewhere else entirely. The Gardenia gown has the same effect: its strapless bustier bodice with exposed boning conjures a classic image of femininity. Its silhouette, rendered in Gardenia jacquard, is made bold by its pleated skirt, a flirty side slit, and an 80 inch train. Brides can choose to add detachable straps that tie atop the shoulders in delicate bows for greater support, while the back can be created with either a lace-up (default) or a zipper back. Gardenia is lined with recycled crepe, and, saving the best for last: she has pockets. We believe a woman’s choices should never be limited by the size she wears. Like all Truvelle designs, Gardenia is also available in sizes 00-40. To our Gardenia extended size designs (16+), we shaped the waist and hip lines to fit curvier body types. No matter your size, our gowns are designed to make you look and feel your best.
