Mac Duggal 79325 Floral Lace Embroidered A-Line Ballgown with Illusion Neckline

This is a gown designed specifically for the mother of the bride or mother of the groom who wants to look polished, refined, and completely appropriate for a formal wedding celebration without sacrificing impact.

Fit & Silhouette

Mac Duggal 79325 follows an A-line ballgown silhouette — fitted through the bodice and waist, then opening into a full skirt that falls to the floor. The structured bodice holds its shape well, and the ballgown skirt provides plenty of comfort and ease of movement throughout a long event day.

The gown runs true to Mac Duggal sizing. We recommend comparing your bust, waist, and hip measurements against the Mac Duggal size chart before ordering. If you are between sizes, sizing up and having the bodice taken in by a local tailor is almost always the better result. Every dress at Marlas Fashions is inspected before it ships.

Fabric & Detail

The base fabric is floral lace — a substantial, structured lace with a mesh and tulle underlayer that gives the gown body and opacity. Over the lace, silver metallic embroidery runs across the full garment surface, catching light from every angle without being flashy. The embroidery follows the floral pattern of the lace, so the two layers work together as one cohesive design rather than layered additions.

At the neckline and shoulder caps, three-dimensional beaded floral appliqués are applied heavily, creating the most decorative area of the gown. These are raised, sculptural details that add texture and presence at the face — exactly where the focus should be for a mother-of-the-bride look.

Style & Occasion

Mac Duggal 79325 was built for formal wedding celebrations. It is an ideal choice for the mother of the bride or mother of the groom who wants a gown that photographs beautifully, reads as formal, and is entirely appropriate for a black-tie or formal evening wedding. The covered back, modest neckline, and cap sleeves make it a confident choice for conservative venues and religious ceremonies.

Beyond the wedding day, this gown works well for galas, formal evening events, and black-tie occasions where a full-length, fully embellished gown is expected. The silver embroidery on blue lace photographs exceptionally well under both natural and evening light.

Style the gown with simple strappy heeled sandals in silver or metalite to let the embroidery lead. For jewelry, keep it minimal — a pearl or crystal drop earring at most. The beaded neckline appliqués do the work. A simple updo or soft chignon completes the look without competing with the gown's upper-body detail.
