Fouad Sarkis 2635 Red Structured Shoulder Ball Gown

Decidedly bold, this MNM Couture creation by Fouad Sarkis (style 2635) really doesn’t hold anything back. Sharp, sculpted shoulders paired with a daring keyhole neckline instantly grab attention—then, that double-belted waist? Yeah, it actually cinches everything just so. Powerful lines, rich red hue, sweeping skirt—every detail’s designed to stand out. It’s not just formal; it’s architectural. The kind of gown you imagine sweeping up marble stairs (while photographers try to capture your best angle). Gala-ready. Prom-perfect. Unapologetically dramatic.

Structured design with upgraded comfort means you don’t have to choose between feeling statuesque and actually moving. Intricately tailored for a crisp, defined shape, but the interior’s soft enough you won’t think about it after the first five minutes. Notice how the skirt pools just right and that the bodice refuses to slouch. Signature couture energy? All over this one. Polished enough for high-society events, but still wearable (promise). If you’re the person who hates blending in, this is your answer.

FAQ:
Q: Does the gown include any accessories?
A: This listing is just for the main gown—belts are integrated, so there’s no need for separate sashes or extras.

Q: How does the sizing run?
A: It’s cut true to couture sizing, so if you’re between sizes or prefer more room in the bust/waist, consider sizing up. The structured waist gives less flexibility than a stretch gown.

Q: Are the shoulders comfortable?
A: While visually dramatic, the interior structure is padded for wearability. You’ll notice the look, not the feel.

Q: What’s the best way to keep the dress looking crisp?
A: Dry cleaning is essential. Hang it in a full-length garment bag and avoid squishing it in crowded closets to keep those architectural lines sharp.

Q: Can I wear this for less formal events?
A: Honestly, it’s a showstopper—so it thrives where the stakes are high (galas, red carpet, prom), but if you want to turn heads at a wedding, nobody’s stopping you.
