This is Vera Wang's top selling dress. The Gemma was inspired by Hillary Duff's custom-made wedding dress and features a very soft mermaid silhouette. It is an ethereal combination of French tulle and organza which is unexpected of this shape.
Bands of tulle wrap around the body like a swirling cyclone, and end in bias-cut flanges, which are deconstructed, abstract blossoms in tissue organza: the perfect storm!
This dress includes the optional blizzard beading: hundreds of tiny little sequins scattered all around the skirt. When the dress is in motion, you get a subtle play between lights and darks in the form of rosy, feminine blooms.
