Gia Franco 12651 is a purple floral jacquard mother of the bride gown cut in a fitted trumpet silhouette that skims the body and flares below the knee into a floor-length sweep. The off-the-shoulder portrait neckline folds over into a soft collar above short cap sleeves, framing the shoulders and collarbone, while a slim self-belt marks the natural waist. Woven rather than printed, the metallic brocade layers lilac and amethyst roses with olive-green foliage over a deep navy ground, so the pattern catches light and shifts as you move instead of reading flat. A concealed center-back zipper keeps the line clean, and the structured jacquard holds its shape through a long evening of photographs, dinner and dancing.
It is a natural pick for the mother of the bride or mother of the groom at a fall or winter wedding, and it carries just as well to a black-tie gala, a milestone anniversary or a bar or bat mitzvah. Because the fabric does the work, it needs very little beside it — drop earrings, a metallic clutch and a heel in navy or pewter finish the look. Jan's Boutique carries Gia Franco by Feriani Couture at 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, with in-house alterations and stylists who fit mothers, grandmothers and wedding guests every day.
