Elie Saab is a Lebanese Fashion Designer and is the first Lebanese to be admits to the Chambre de Syndicale de La Haute Couture. Known for his wedding gowns and evening dresses. Taupe is an unusual color most women shy away from it but it works with most skin tones. The intricate pleated of this gown and the way it is positioned so it is slightly off center is genius. Gives it a focal point by having it knot in the center. As the bodice is pleated horizontally the skirt is just the opposite vertical in larger pleats given the wearer an illusion of height. Zips up the side in a double zipper. Measures as follows Bust 36, Waist 29, Hips 40, Length 55. Excellent condition
