Reflection:

     Vera Wang's bridal gowns show her own character: wild with a touch of elegance. Her upper body uses mostly the bodice, while the other half expresses all the emotions. Although strapless is a big design in her artworks, I personally like the mermaid gowns better, it shows off your body shape, also it is more acceptable than the wilder ones!
