Black Ball Gown Silhouette – Bold and Sophisticated

The Zander bridal gown features a striking black ball gown silhouette that blends traditional elegance with a modern twist. The voluminous skirt adds breathtaking beauty, creating a soft, ethereal effect, while the contrasting layers of tulle and lace offer depth and drama, making it perfect for a bride who wants to turn heads and stand out on her big day.

Sheer Bodice with 3D Floral Lace – Intricate and Alluring

The sheer bodice of Zander is adorned with stunning 3D floral lace motifs that add texture and dimension. The plunging V-neckline and scoop back are both daring and feminine, creating an alluring yet sophisticated effect. The illusion long sleeves provide a soft, ethereal touch that balances the boldness of the black tulle skirt.

Customizable Details – Tailor Your Gown to Your Style

Zander offers several customization options, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind bridal look. You can choose to change Chantilly lace to textured tulle for a softer, more modern feel, or swap it for sparkle tulle for extra shimmer. The gown also comes with a detachable modesty panel option for a more demure neckline.

For a vintage-inspired touch, you can add covered buttons down the back, creating a timeless detail that complements the gown’s bold design.

Tulle Ball Gown Skirt – Dramatic and Dreamy

The tulle ballgown skirt is the focal point of this gown, creating a soft, voluminous look that’s as romantic as it is dramatic. The hemline is trimmed with horsehair, ensuring the skirt maintains its shape while still flowing dreamily and ethereally as you move.
