Created by the same designer who made Grace Kelly's wedding gown, this ball gown is instantly recognizable as a vintage masterpiece in the style of Charles James. The ballooning rear bow and floral bouquet make it beautiful from all angles, and the unusual color combination is a refreshing departure from typical ball gown fare.
