Summer Dresses



Altuzarra - spring 2021





Rows of pearlescent buttons run the length of the body and along the sides of the skirt, 
offering an adjustable alternative to the signature slits. 
Features a tonal bra that is attached to the dress.




The 'Marilla' Knit Skirt in black is spun to a ribbed design that sits high on the waist 
and fits slim through the body. It’s detailed with two rows of pearlescent buttons at the front 
that can be adjusted to create side slits.

2021 Wedding Gown concepts



Givenchy - pre-fall 2021


Carolina Herrera - "Leyla" dress, Bridal spring 2020
double face silk georgette trumpet skirt

Like this but with a plain stretch tulle sleeve, higher funnel neck & 
possibly A-line skirt rather than trumpet

They do have the below one in the same collection:



Carolina Herrera - "London" dress, Bridal spring 2020
Silk faille ballgown with floral organza beaded applique and 
detachable embroidered stretch tulle bolero.

I don't know why they're trying to cover the front of this in every photo, but
I like the kitschy-ness of the roses on this sheer top:






Carolina Herrera - Bridal spring 2018

LOVE this skirt w/ the tiers & sheer panels.





Vera Wang - empire waist silk dress

I'm surprised at how much I appreciate the simplicity of this dress, and how striking
it could be to wear a simple, dark shade gown to your wedding.
This one is ridiculously priced ($5K+), but I want to get a seamstress to
make my dress anyhow.







Above is from a google search, and the url was incorrect


White by Vera Wang - Tulle Beaded Lace Wedding Dress





I'm learning that I like simple material but unusual/bold details i.e. tiers, frills, bows,
sleeves, high necklines, square backs, gloves etc


Boudoir 1861 - Beroche | Linen tiered Bridal Dress
$240 CAD



They also sell skirts by themselves to wear over or under your gown
for just the ceremony or whatnot:


Boutique 1861 - Louise-Marie | White Maxi Skirt
Materials : 100% nylon. Lining: 100% polyester

$68 Sale


Philana | A-Line Tulle Skirt
$120





Robe de K - Korean bridal 





Union Dresses - Square Neckline Long Sleeved gown

I'd like something unembellished - just the material itself with maybe something simple 
on the neckline or cuffs. Potential materials include: Taffeta - a fine lustrous fabric, with a crisp texture.




 Milla Nova - 2021





Francesco Scognamiglio - spring 2019 couture detail





BESIDE COUTURE BY GEMY - BC1414 

But in a richer fabric, like velvet (below).

I don't think I want to do white (or black). Maybe burgundy?


Fendi - fall 2019 couture detail





Alessandra Rich -  FALL 2014

An oldie but still so inspiring! Love the modern relaxed panniers!!!

Panniers or side hoops are women's undergarments worn in the 17th and 18th centuries 

to extend the width of the skirts at the side while leaving the front and back relatively flat.



Alessandra Rich - fall 2016

& this one has inspired me for bridal wear since it came out. Not the sheer skirt, but the very high neck, open shoulders, arms cuffs, side cut outs & large scalloped hemline, all edged in frilly lace. It's not racy because it's just too damned demure! It's brilliant!
