May #DOM: Shania by Maggie Sottero

Our Dress of the Month (#DOM) for May is the soft & whimsical Shania by Maggie Sottero.  The sheer organza is the perfect material for the cut floral skirt.  Rouching through the bodice & the drop waist are sure to accentuate all the right curves!  And the floral embellishments are right on trend as well!  Accessorize with the perfect groom:  Classic 2 button, notch lapel & black bow tie.  The Ridge by Jean Ives is this season's must have tuxedo. Can't you just imagine outdoor pictures with bright green grass & this skirt fluttering in the breeze?  We can!
