The Sophia Tolli Solene Y3247SB is a lace mermaid wedding dress built for the bride who wants the drama of a fitted silhouette with a fully finished, opaque bodice. Floral-inspired lace applique is placed to contour the waist and hip, then cascades out of the basque waistline and down a true mermaid skirt onto a semi-sheer chapel-length train that runs 89 inches and is lifted by layers of horsehair tulle, so the hem holds its shape and moves with you instead of collapsing. A plunging V-neckline opens the front, and the detachable off-shoulder floral straps let you wear Solene two ways in one day: romantic and covered for the ceremony, clean and strapless for the reception. The "SB" in the style number is the part most brides ask about: Y3247SB is the solid-bodice version of Solene, meaning the lace sits on a lined, non-transparent foundation, while the sibling style Sophia Tolli Y3247 is the same gown with a semi-sheer bodice you can see skin through. If your ceremony is in a church, your photos will be close-cropped, or you simply do not want an illusion panel across your midriff, Y3247SB is the one to try. It is available at Jan's Boutique in Ivory, Ivory/Soft Blush and White in sizes 0 through 32, and it can be ordered in extra hollow-to-hem lengths (SH3, SH5, LG3, LG5) so the train reads correctly whether you are 5'2" in flats or 6'0" in heels. See it alongside the rest of our mermaid wedding dresses and lace gowns, or browse bridal plus sizes and the full Sophia Tolli collection. Brides who love Solene often also try Mimi Y3251, a strapless lace mermaid, and Penelope Y3249 if a softer boho halter is more your speed.
Solene is a gown you need to see in person, because a mermaid skirt and an 89-inch chapel train only make sense once you have walked in them. Jan's Boutique is at 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, about ten minutes over the bridge from Center City Philadelphia and an easy drive from Moorestown, Marlton, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Mount Laurel, Washington Township, Wilmington DE, the Main Line and the Jersey Shore. Our 13,000 square foot store holds more than 15,000 dresses and 50 dressing rooms, so you can compare the solid-bodice Y3247SB against the semi-sheer Y3247 side by side in the same appointment instead of guessing from photos. Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing, which on a bridal gown is a real saving over buying in Pennsylvania or Delaware, and our on-site alterations department fits the bodice, sets the hem and bustles the train in house. Call 856-428-8181 or book a bridal appointment to try Solene on.
