Navy is totally an underrated color for weddings. This floor-length gown has some gorgeous detailing around the waist and slit to let your curves steal the show. It’s made of a soft jersey material that isn’t too heavy or constrictive, so if you’re looking for some additional sculpting, we recommend grabbing a some shapewear for underneath.
