Demetrios Evening style C103 is a floor-length navy crepe gown built on a clean, column-through-the-hip line that releases below the knee into a soft fit-and-flare skirt and a sweep train. The story is all in the neckline: a wide, folded-over bertha of beaded lace sits off the shoulder in a true portrait frame, scalloped along its edge and shot through with tonal beading and sequins that catch light without adding a single sparkle to the body of the dress. Underneath, the bodice is unadorned matte crepe with shaped princess seams, and the back stays closed and high, finished with a long row of self-covered buttons that runs from the lace band to below the hip. There is no slit and no beading on the skirt, so the gown reads quiet and architectural from a distance and intricate up close - the balance most mothers of the bride and groom are looking for. It comes in Navy and Rose Gold and is cut in Demetrios Evening sizes 0 through 28, which puts a genuinely formal, fully lined gown within reach for plus sizes that most designer evening lines stop short of. Wear it to a black-tie wedding, an autumn or winter ceremony, a gala or charity ball, or as an elegant wedding guest option, and style it simply: a cuff or bangle, a small clutch, drop earrings, and nothing at the neck. It sits naturally alongside our other mother of the bride and evening gowns and our lace and clean, no-glitz collections.
C103 is one of more than 15,000 dresses on the floor at Jan's Boutique, 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 - a 13,000 square foot showroom with 50 dressing rooms, about 15 minutes from Center City Philadelphia and an easy drive from Marlton, Moorestown, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Mount Laurel and all of Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties, as well as Bucks and Montgomery counties and Wilmington, Delaware. Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing, so the price you see on a gown here is the price you pay - and that holds for our on-site professional alterations too, which matter on a fitted crepe silhouette like this one, where the hem, the bust line and the set of the off-the-shoulder band decide whether the gown looks bought or looks made for you. Because C103 is a current Demetrios Evening style carried in Navy and Rose Gold in sizes 0 to 28, availability and pricing are confirmed in the showroom or by phone. Call 856-428-8181 or book an appointment to see it on, compare it against the rest of our evening and mother-of-the-bride collection, and have a fitter measure you the same day. Jan's has dressed the Delaware Valley since 1974.
