The Strapless Satin Mermaid Gown with Detachable Scarf gives you a draped shoulder for the ceremony and photographs, and a clean strapless line the moment you take it off, \u003cstrong\u003ewhich is two silhouettes from one gown without a second dress or a second fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Gown Two Silhouettes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDraped over the shoulder, the scarf breaks the horizontal of the strapless neckline and gives the upper body a diagonal to follow. It also covers, which settles the question a strapless gown raises in a church or a family gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemoved, the gown is a plain strapless mermaid with nothing interrupting the line from bust to floor. Most people wear it one way for the first half of the evening and the other way for the second, which is exactly what a detachable piece is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSatin with Weight to It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is a medium-weight satin rather than a light one, and that difference does real work on a mermaid. Heavier satin holds the flare where it was cut instead of collapsing against the leg, so the shape stays architectural through a long evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bodice is structured underneath, which is what a strapless gown needs to stay in place at all. Weight in the skirt and structure in the bodice are the two halves of the same job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormal Evenings and Ceremonies\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven colors covers most of the formal spectrum: blue, emerald, gold, hot pink, navy, red and sienna rose.
