Lace and organza - a study in texture and design

New arrivals from Robert Bullock and Lea Ann Belter allow us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of our price range (the gowns here range from $650 to $3685) and the ability of our designers to create beautiful texture and amazing interest with well chosen lace and organza.

On the left, Robert Bullock uses purposely placed layers of folded organza, lace and tulle to create the most flirty and whimsical short little bridal gown that we've ever seen. The center gown, also by Robert Bullock, uses cut and angled layers of organza, lace and tulle to create an infinitely flattering and sophisticated silhouette. And we're totally in love with the way that he decided to layer the organza over the lace of the skirt to produce incredibly soft texture. On the right, Tess by Lea Ann Belter is exquisite French Alencon lace over silk satin that hugs your curves while the small of your waist is accentuated with a narrow silk satin belt and the lace drips over the dreamy silk organza hem - it's like butter! The frosting on Tess's cake is Lea Ann's cut-to-measure fit that truly expresses her flawless craftsmanship.
