{"product_id":"one-shoulder-satin-wedding-gown","title":"One Shoulder Satin Wedding Gown with Leg Slit","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single shoulder is the quiet answer to everything that goes wrong with strapless. The One Shoulder Satin Wedding Gown with Leg Slit anchors the bodice at one point, so the gown has something holding it up besides friction, and the sweetheart neckline underneath still gives you the shape a strapless dress is chosen for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Shoulder Solves Strapless\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrapless gowns are adjusted more than any other neckline, and the reason is mechanical rather than aesthetic: the whole garment is held by tension around the ribcage. Add one shoulder and part of that load moves upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetry also does something a symmetrical neckline cannot. A diagonal line across the collarbone breaks the horizontal of a straight strapless edge, which lengthens the neck and shoulder on the covered side and draws the eye upward through the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBoning under Gathered Satin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bodice is boned, meaning rigid strips are sewn into its seams to stop the fabric collapsing inward. That is what keeps a fitted satin gown standing where it was placed through a ceremony, a receiving line and a first dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver it, the waist is gathered and the hipline ruched, and both of those are doing visual work: gathered satin catches light in short broken runs rather than one long sweep. A leg slit through the fitted skirt gives back the walking room that a close cut takes away, which matters on an aisle and on stairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCeremonies and Second Looks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a bridal gown first, and a strong reception or second-look dress after that. It also works as an engagement or courthouse gown where a full traditional dress would be too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe one shoulder decides your hair and your jewelry, not the other way around.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hair is worn up or swept to the bare side so the covered shoulder reads clean, and a necklace competes with the diagonal rather than complementing it. Earrings are the accessory this neckline wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReading a Boned Bodice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight numeric bands are cut, in the single off white colorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eSize chart, measured in inches\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBust (in)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eWaist (in)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eHips (in)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e4\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e6\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e8\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e10\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e12\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e14\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e16\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e18\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery figure above is in inches and is taken on the body rather than on the finished garment, so measure the fullest part of the bust, the narrowest part of the waist an inch or two above the navel, and the fullest part of the hips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder early and expect one fitting.\u003c\/strong\u003e A boned bodice has no ease built into it, so the band that is closest wins and a tailor closes the last half inch.
