Sophia Tolli Premiere style ST682SBF, named Isadora, is the solid-bodice edition of the Isadora ball gown, and the distinction matters more than the suffix suggests. Where the base ST682 and the ST682F carry a semi-sheer beaded bodice, ST682SBF is built on an opaque, fully lined beaded allover lace bodice, so nothing reads through at the waist or ribcage in photographs or in daylight. The neckline is a strapless sweetheart finished with a scalloped lace edge, and the corded lace is worked in dense scrolling floral motifs shot through with pearl and bead sparkle rather than a flat printed pattern. That bodice drops to a deeply pointed basque waistline, the seam that narrows the middle and lengthens the leg line, and from there the skirt takes over: voluminous organza gathered into designer pick-ups that hold their shape and shift with every step instead of falling flat. The back closes with a concealed zipper trimmed in pearl buttons that trail the length of a 95-inch chapel train. This is the version to choose if you want the drama of the Isadora silhouette without a corset lace-up back, which is the ST682SBLBF, and without detachable gauntlet sleeves, which are the ST682SB and the long-sleeved ST682SBLB. Jan's stocks it in Ivory and White, and the factory also cuts it in special lengths SH5, SH3, LG3 and LG5. Brides cross-shopping a structured lace bodice usually try it beside the Sophia Tolli ST683 Tatiana, and the rest of the designer's line sits together on our Sophia Tolli wedding dress page alongside our wider strapless, lace and beaded collections.
An organza ball gown of this scale is one you have to see on a hanger and then on yourself, because the pick-ups read completely differently in a photograph than they do in a mirror. Jan's Boutique keeps ST682SBF in the salon at 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, where brides from South Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware try it in sizes 0 through 28 with a consultant who fits this designer every week; call 856-428-8181 or book an appointment to have it pulled and pressed before you arrive. Sophia Tolli's Premiere gowns are a designer-tier collection, so like most of the line this style is listed as call for price rather than posted online, and the number above gets you the current price, the delivery window for your wedding date and whether Ivory or White is on the floor that week. Fit questions get answered in the building too: a strapless basque-waist bodice depends entirely on how the boning sits at your natural waist, and our in-house alterations studio takes in the bodice, sets the hem over your ceremony shoes and bustles the 95-inch chapel train so the skirt still moves at the reception. If a full skirt is the direction but the price or the silhouette is not settled, compare it with our plus size wedding dresses, best selling wedding dresses, affordable wedding dresses and nontraditional wedding dresses in the same visit. Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing, which on a designer gown is a real difference against shopping in Pennsylvania or Delaware.
