Scale and placement of the bow
A bow can be a small accent or a sculptural feature. At the shoulder it alters the upper frame; at the waist it emphasizes a horizontal line; at the back it gives the rear view a focal point. Its fabric matters too: crisp material keeps the loops defined, while softer fabric creates more fluid folds.
On Lanvee, the large back bow belongs to the detachable overskirt and disappears when that layer is removed. A bow at the waist may work with the line shown in wedding dresses with belt details.
A bow that alters the view
On Lanvee, a large bow sits on the back of a detachable overskirt, giving the narrow embroidered base gown a second, fuller outline. The bow belongs to that added layer, so check how a design looks before and after styling pieces are attached.
