WHAT'S NEW IN THE GOWN GALLERY?

 If you like the idea of an asymmetrical neckline with a shawl drape, meet SIMONE. This refined design in duchesse satin features a fitted sheath silhouette with a cummerbund. I envisioned the veil going up instead of falling down — something like a small pancake hat worn to the side of the head with a shot of tulle pouf. It would be lovely, though, with just about any veil because of its simple lines. The fabric itself has such a beautiful hand and is easy to wear. The bow is accented with a handcrafted satin floral. I even seared the petals a bit to give them that fresh-picked-out-of-the-garden look. Ideal for brides wanting a match for an intimate or semi-formal wedding.
