Jovani 48991 is a navy off the shoulder mermaid evening gown made for a grand entrance. Billowing organza ruffles frame the shoulders and upper arms, the fitted bodice is traced in crystal beading that outlines an oversized rose (the motif wraps around to the back), and just below the hips the skirt releases into a voluminous cascade of tiered organza ruffles that sweeps the floor. Jovani calls it the Off Shoulder Ruffle Beaded Bodice Dress: sculpted and sparkling from neckline to hip, then pure movement from the knee down, which is why it photographs so well on a staircase or a ballroom floor. Jan's carries it in navy in sizes 00 through 24 at $3,300 (sizes 16 to 24 are $3,500). This navy blue gown belongs at a black tie gala, charity ball, military ball, formal evening wedding or red carpet event, and it is a striking navy blue gown for a wedding when the dress code says formal. Keep the styling clean so the ruffles and beading lead: crystal drop earrings, hair swept up or to one side to show the neckline, a slim metallic clutch and a strappy heel.

See Jovani 48991 in person at Jan's Boutique, 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, about 20 minutes from Center City Philadelphia and an easy drive from South Jersey, the Main Line, Delaware and the rest of the tri-state area. Serving brides and formal shoppers since 1974, our showroom has grown to 13,000 square feet with 50 dressing rooms and more than 15,000 dresses, and Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing. A gown with this much volume is worth trying on before you commit: the mermaid break point has to land at the right spot for your height in your actual shoes, the ruffle tiers should be shortened tier by tier rather than cut straight across, and the beaded rose needs to sit centered over your bust, all of which our on-site alteration team handles in house. Book a fitting on our appointments page or text us at 856-428-8181 (text only, no phone calls) to check sizing, delivery timing or availability. Shopping from out of state?
