This extravagant evening dress became a viral sensation as users of social media repeatedly shared the silhouette online. Launched by Bulgarian-based bridal brand Tonena's Etsy shop, the design is lavish, daring, bold and meant to outfit the mother of the bride.

It is perhaps a combination of material use, price value, and silhouette construction that has captured the attention of so many individuals. The extravagant evening dress exudes elegance and is quite alluring, empowering the wearer to make a statement.

Tonena's offering is handmade and inspired by the Boho style movement. One of the more striking elements of the dress' construction is the fact that it is embellished with ostrich feathers, adding an interesting layer of sophistication to the design.
