Sottero and Midgley

Regal romance meets modern couture in Petra by Sottero & Midgley, a breathtaking designer wedding dress created for the bride who wants timeless grandeur with fashion-forward detail. Featured in the Dress 2 Impress Bridal Collection, Petra pairs luxurious Cartago satin with dimensional lace and exquisite corsetry for an unforgettable bridal look. The structured bodice is adorned with beaded and sequin 3-D lace motifs, enhanced by refined topstitching that highlights the gown’s sculpted construction. A dramatic strapless cat-eye neckline frames the décolletage, while delicate draped pearl detailing adds an unexpected touch of bridal luxury. The bodice extends into a beautifully defined waist before opening into a magnificent satin ball gown skirt, creating a classic, statuesque silhouette with exceptional movement and presence. From behind, a soft sweetheart back neckline continues the feminine styling. The gown finishes with a secure zipper and inner corset closure, while elegant covered buttons trail to the hem for a timeless bridal finish. Thoughtfully designed pockets add a practical modern detail without interrupting the gown’s sophisticated silhouette. Petra is lined with Kahili recycled-content lining made from 100% recycled polyester, combining luxurious construction with a more considered material choice. The contrast between luminous Cartago satin and intricate three-dimensional floral embellishment makes this gown especially striking for ballroom.
