Bridal show – Taffeta Mermaid
28 Jan
For the first time in a long time I am back adding to my blog. I did just have a baby and move house and I am sticking to that excuse.
I have a few more dresses from the Weddings coast style 2015 which I haven’t added and I am going to put that to right straight away.
This dress was a chance for me to experiment. I planned the shape and knew I wanted ruffles at the hem but had no set idea about how I wanted to do them. This gave me a chance to do a lot of experiments. In the end a mix of tulle and taffeta frills and rosettes was the winner.
Would you wear a 2 piece
20 Feb
I am in love with the 2 piece but understand it is a controversial choice. For the bride who would instantly assume she couldnt wear this I have scoured through the options to find what I think are the best and most wearable styles, even for women with body types who would assume they couldn’t.
The first few leave just a little skin and this area is higher around the ribs which is usually a less squishy area.
A sheer layer over the midriff is another way to soften the look.
Another option is to create the illusion of a 2 piece. These dresses show no skin but have the draped top over the bodice.
Lastly one that is really special. The skin is all visible at the back.
