WHAT'S NEW IN THE GOWN GALLERY?

 
The COLUMBINA Dress is yet a newer addition to the Dioresque Collection. This bit of meringue was inspired by the Comedia dell’Arte character, Columbina, Harlequin’s girlfriend or mistress.  I see a kind of mime element to this look, that kept running through my head.  Imagine a cloche headpiece with a long veil. Or for the more traditional brides out there, just the long veil.  A taffeta bodice is encircled with handmade white flowers and sits atop a tulle skirt.  Note the skirt is layered and underlined in just a hint of blush and ivory. Each floral on this dress is handmade–a total of twenty-three in all.  Available via Amy-Jo Tatum Bridal Couture.
