Gown of the Day: Fouette by Ian Stuart

Our chosen gown of the day is Fouette. We have had great responses toward this gown, being that it is one of the newer gowns to the store it is on one of the main mannequins and has gotten a lot of attention from individuals passing by. The gown is a silk taffeta that has an extraordinary color combination, the ivory fades into darker latte like color which then makes a swirling affect through the bodice and the train. As a customer described for me it is a very sophisticated gown. I have always said every gown has a personality and has a specific girl that it fits best, almost in the same way as picking the groom.

In this case I believe the customer was correct in saying this gown is sophisticated and meant for a girl who is looking for something elegant and body conscious to show her figure off perfectly.

Kate and William a wedding to remember

Sooo I am sure everyone is aware of the wedding festivities that occurred this morning. Prince William married the lovely Kate Middleton. After the months of anticipation every thing came together Fabulously, with the bride wearing a gown by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. The gown was very understated and classic, consisting of a lace bodice with high neck and fuller skirt. With the assumption that Kate might of chosen Sarah to design her gown I was expecting something a little more extravagant after all she is from the House of Alexander McQueen. So in seeing the final product I pleasantly surprised by the end result.

I have a strong feeling girls will be coming into the store in search of lace gowns and cathedral length veils. But we shall see if the wedding world is highly influenced by Kate's choice as it was when Diana married Prince Charles. Celebrities and Royalty have a very big influence on brides to be...... Don't you think?!
