Illusion Lace

Ethereal and subtly sultry, gowns with illusion lace popped up in several weddings and styled shoots this year, and we can see why! This style is a romantically feminine way to accentuate your décolletage and to add sleeves, if you desire, without adding too much heaviness to your look. So chic!
