The Reyna Elena Gown from Rose Paul Silhouette

We didn't have to look far when we decided where to get the most exquisite gown fit for a queen.

Beauty, brains & breeding : Christine Gatal

Known for their impeccable style, attention to detail, craftsmanship and design anesthetics, we went to Rose Paul Silhouette to dress up our niece as one of Maytime's most enduring symbols of pulchritude. 

You see, my niece Christine B. Gatal emerged as first placer in the search for Reyna Elena 2021 and will reign during the Santacruzan procession organized by the members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Lourdes for San Vicente Ferrer Parish in Ubay, Bohol.

Roseth and Paul Ranara, the creative tandem behind Rose Paul Silhouette,  explained to us the design details behind the stylized Filipiniana ball gown that Christine wore for the crowning & procession last May 31.

The all- white gown featured a delicately  designed form- fitting bodice with a low neckline.

The decolletage was tastefully covered with sheer material and embellished with beads & crystals. The whole bodice was cinched at the waist. 

Adding a dramatic detail to the see- through back are the perfectly aligned pearl buttons.

The voluminous skirt supported by a petticoat conjured images of a bygone era of understated elegance and added to the majestic splendor of the gown and the young lady wearing it. 

Thank you Rose Paul Silhouette for creating a dazzling gown fit for a queen.
