2016: A YEAR OF DESIGNS

Truly this has to be one of my favorite posts every year and something of a January 1st tradition.  Summing up all the gorgeousness created throughout the year, tulle, chiffon and lace once again took the stage, this year sporting looser and more costume-inspired designs.  Below are a few of my faves from the 2016 arsenal of allure . . . .

Directly above and below the CLAUDIA Dress here looks like something out of Downton Abbey with its cascading lace.  Perfect for garden or beach destinations this two piece dress travels light.  A mix of chantilly laces and ivory silk chiffon, the rosettes were made from hand cut and sculpted pieces of lace accented with a pearl . . . .

  Above: baring your midriff on your wedding day might have shocked your great grandma but oh what a great beach frock the TONYA Dress would make!  A mix of Chantilly and Venice laces this two piece is total comfort . . . .

I sell quite a few of these tulle head pieces.  This one is a headband.  Yes, they're popular for a certain kind of bride who gets the word, 'Chic' on her wedding day.

Above: New spin on a tried and true piece in the collection, COSETTE gets a midriff treatment of torn chiffon, adding a bit of grunge to a sweet lace theme.  This is a custom piece perfect for the bride wanting the best of both worlds on her wedding day . . . .
