Empire Waist Gown with Bias Cut Banded Bodice Style VW351071
Taffeta empire waist gown with bias-cut banded bodice, net overlay, and attached sash. The embodiment of a once-in-a-lifetime fantasy, this dress is designed with dreamy details like the banded, bias-cut bodice layered with raw-edged taffeta and delicate net. A study in contrasts, net veiling over taffeta creates a full skirt that is remarkably light and airy. Skirt pockets and petal styling in back complete the look. The wide sash looks sensational tied in a bow at the empire waist, or tied in back. Modern cathedral-length train (63" from waist). Fully lined. Back zip. Dry clean only. Available in select stores in and online in Ivory and Soft White. NEW! See Vera's inspiration Behind the Dress

"This dress was everything I needed the empire waist and full skirt made me feel youthful and elegant at the same time. It was very comfortable the whole night.

"I love this dress. I went in to try on the VW351071 and the VW351011. I loved both dresses but this one stood out to me for its romantic ruffled bodice. My wedding is planned to be a backyard garden wedding and this look is elegant but not too formal. I would recommend this dress for any summer ceremony because it is lightweight and breathable. I cannot wait!"

"I went home for the weekend during Thanksgiving. I actually almost bought another Vera dress, but had to try this dress on. I fell in love instantly. This is exactly what I had been looking for. Bonus...it has pockets!!! :)
My grandma has terminal cancer, and most likely will not make it to the big day. I was so happy that David's Bridal could set up a separate appointment for her and all my aunts to come in to see me in my dress! :)"

"My ceremony was an outdoor ceremony on a farm, so i was looking for a dress that felt organic and easy -- no shiny materials for me. When i got to the store, my mom had me try this one on even though it didn't look that flattering on the mannequin - it was the 4th dress i tried on and all looked great, so i wasn't too sure i would actually have the "moment" -- as soon as i saw myself in the mirror I couldn't stop crying. This dress felt amazing and just like "me".
At my first fitting after getting it in, i started having reservations because of the empire waist - i was worried i would look pregnant! This was only a couple weeks before the wedding and i was starting to stress out, no way i was going to order another dress -- i would have to make it work. Luckily, the sash is long enough that i was able to wrap it around the bodice a couple times and still have a beautiful bow - creating a perfect waistline.
Now, i can't stop staring at pictures of myself in this dress, it's everything i wanted. The fabric is beautiful and unique; the organic flow of the dress is easy to wear -- overall, so chic and classic with a little bit of modern, sexy flair."

"I tried on 100s of dresses and this is my absolute favorite. I wore this dress on my wedding day and received so many complements that I felt and looked like a princess! My husband loved the dress and it photographs extremely well!! I wrapped the bow around my waist and added a custom belt that really made the dress sparkle! Really every girl wants to wear Vera on her wedding day!"

Made for me!
Date:September 13, 2011
"I absolutely love my dress! It's like Vera made it just for me. I did not want over the top but I wanted an amazing dress all the same without looking plain. The material is matte and beautiful. The overlapping petal back is very classy and the bow at the front adds couture. All of this in such a simple dress. Absolutely ecstatic with my very own Vera, and such a bargain!"
