The sage green sacred bouquet jacket gown by Papa Don't Preach is cut in a luminous sage and gold jacquard with intricate floral embroidery. A sculpted wrap-style bodice with a shawl collar leads to a cinched waist finished with an ornate jeweled belt, and the asymmetric skirt falls into dramatic, fluid panels with a daring front slit. Delicate ruffle edging adds a soft contrast to the metallic surface. It comes as 2 pieces, the jacket gown and the belt, and it suits a cocktail night, a sangeet or a reception.
