A Ruched Bodice That Flatters
The stretch Mikado bodice is softly ruched, creating gathered folds that add texture and shape to the structured fabric. The scoop neckline opens elegantly across the chest, keeping the look clean and modern. The ruching draws the eye to the basque waistline which dips below the natural waist, elongating the torso and creating a sculpted, defined transition into the full ball gown skirt.
A Lace Up Back — Or a Zip
The Mikado lace up back gives an adjustable fit that can be tailored to the body. A modesty panel is included for additional coverage beneath the lacing. For brides who prefer a cleaner finish, the dress is also available with a zip closure instead. It’s a practical, flattering back detail either way, ensuring the dress fits beautifully on the day.
Volume, Pockets and a Chapel Train
The full ball gown skirt is constructed with organza and double hard net layers with horsehair hems for serious volume and structure. Hidden organza pockets sit within the skirt for practicality. The chapel length train extends the polished Mikado for a grand, dramatic finish.
Perfect For...
A bride who wants a grand ball gown with a flattering, adjustable fit. The ruched bodice and lace up back mean this dress works beautifully on a wide range of figures, while the scoop neckline and basque waist keep things modern and sophisticated. The stretch Mikado is comfortable and forgiving, and the pockets are a practical bonus. Perfect for church ceremonies and grand venues.
