Inspired by dreams past, reinventing the mood of yesterday's chic comes as a delight when working with fine silks and laces like these. The newest addition to 'Dioresque' my capsule collection of 1950s creations, the above dress is aptly named, 'Aurora' (for the aurora color accents). The lace is backed with a blue/gray China silk. With the additional peach accents it looks just like a muted pastel sunset. The skirt is four layers of tulle and there's a separate slip of crinoline and tulle. Detailed touches include a row of buttons accenting the back and it is all pulled together with a blue and peach sash of China Silk. The headpiece is coral-peachy handmade silk florals attached to a tulle bow.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE GOWN GALLERY?

Imagine the formality of an elegant silhouette with all the ease of informal cotton. Here's my 'Daisy' dress in a pure white eyelet. I love this fabric. Every bride who has tried it on says its so comfortable. Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina was my original inspiration for this design. The bateau neckline pictured above was actually renamed after this character from the mid-1950s movie. The rest of the dress is a classic A-line with a to-the-floor skirt held out by layers of petticoat. I topped it off with one of my shorter veils reminiscent of 50s-60s brides.

SUMPTUOUS FABRICS: The Making of a Romantic Bride

When it comes to wedding wear, silks rule. I designed these gowns in a whole range of silks for the bride wanting an ultra feminine look. When organza, chiffon, crepe and light-as-air laces combine, they make for some real romantic dressing.

MUSETTA: A whirling confection in yards of silk organza accented with peau d’ange lace over a satin bodice.

ARIEL: Go floral. Silk petals and roses decorate a detachable organza train. The rest of the gown is silk chiffon and chantilly lace.



MONIQUE: Surplice bodice draped in white silk crepe harks back to 1930’s Hollywood. Warning: This simple silhouette carries lots of impact.




CHLOE: A lightweight brocade that can go cool and airy for summer weddings.

ANTOINETTE: Be ethereal in a body-hugging embossed chiffon over white crepe. Back features a silk gauze detachable train with handrolled silk florals.
