Dress of the Week - Fashion Show!!


Our dresses this week are featured from past fashion shows. These are two dresses we LOVE and are popular ones in the store.

This first lovely dress, modeled by Lindsey, is a J'aime dress. It's a fitted a-line with a chiffon sweetheart pleated bust, and it falls with lace to the floor. The scalloped lace edge flows out in a chapel train behind, and it has a zipper back with some buttons up the zipper with an internal belt. The lace is embroidered with silver threads and has sparkles throughout that catches the light as you move.

The second dress is also a J'aime and is worn by the gorgeous Bianca. Another fitted a-line, this dress is a satin underlay and pleated sweetheart bust with floral details in the middle. The lace over top is a delicate net covered in small 3-d flowers and em-broid-ered in gold thread. The chapel train flows behind, and there's a belt on the inside to help hold it to your body. The zipper back has buttons over top to add time-less-ness to the look.

We are lucky enough to have two lines of dresses in the store that you will not find any-where else!

J'aime is one, with three more dresses in the collection besides these two. There's another lace a-line dress with a satin belt under the bust, a satin drop-waist ball gown with a lace-up back, and an all-over lace sheath with lace shoulders and an open back. They're stunning and must be seen to be believed.

The second line we carry is Carrafina. Carrafina was strictly an American line until we begged to carry her designs here. She agreed and we've been overjoyed at the detail, the quality, and the styles.

We have named her Signature dresses after 'real' princesses, so you'll find Helena, Guinevere, Niobe and Rhiannon to try on. They are in ballgown, sheath, a-line and empire cuts, with sparkle and internal details to keep the dresses fitted perfectly. They all have buttons over the back zips for that classic look.

Her Carried Away line for destination weddings are the perfect option for the informal ceremony. We have named these dresses Kuai, Domenica, La Vega, and Riviera. In empire, sheath, and a-line cuts, these dresses are excellently suited for a beach wedding, an outdoor ceremony, or even a comfortable reception dress.

Because both these lines are private, you won't find their photos online to check out. This means the prices are kept lower and the dresses can't be copied by pirates for inferior knock-offs. You'll get great quality for a great price with any dress in these two lines. Come in and see these amazing dresses for yourself.

Bridesmaid Dress of the Month: Impression Trifecta!


Here's another set of gorgeous bridesmaid dresses from Impression Bridesmaids. Lovely dresses that will fit any body style, they're not just for bridesmaids!

On the left is a strapped taffeta dress with a floral embellishment at the ruffled hem and a belt around the waist. In the store, we have it in Plum with a Mocha belt.

The middle dress is a lovely satin strapless dress (spaghetti straps included) with a sweetheart neckline and pleated bust. The flower is at the waist and has a swinging a-line skirt. This dress is in Eggplant in the store.

The third dress is a lovely shiny taffeta with a deep pleated sweetheart neckline and a pencil skirt. The belt ads depth to the waist, and is very flattering to most figure types. We have this dress in Indigo with a Cornflower coloured belt.

These dresses can be ordered in sizes from 2-34 and are affordable alternatives for prom, banquet, and guest dresses too!

Dress of the Week: Jasmine "Best of All Worlds"



This week's dress gives the shape of a sheath dress with the poof of a ball gown. With or without the belt, this is an amazing dress.

From Jasmine Bridal's spring Collection of dresses, the sweetheart neckline has pleating, which falls in one direction to the waist, then switches direction down the hips.

Just below the hips, the drop-waist ball gown flares out in a slight poof adding texture and shape to the front and sides, and then falls to the floor in elegant pleats.

The back of the dress is Jasmine's typical elegance - a deep-v back with buttons over the zipper. The internal corset eliminates the need for a bustier and gives an awesome fit.

The tiffany train is elegant and flows behind as you walk down the aisle. It's easy to bustle to the bottom of the zipper too, which gives a lovely look during the reception.

The dress is in luminous taffeta. It picks up the light to shimmer as you move, and the belt is available in over 30 colours!

This gown is available in ivory or white, in sizes 0 to 34! We have this lovely dress in white in store now for you to try on and see how figure-flattering it is.

This dress will wow them coming and going!

In jersey, this dress has a cowl neck in front with a long cowl to the lower back.

The back is covered in mesh with sparkles throughout, capturing the light and making you sparkle as you move.

Glamourous from top to bottom, this dress is sure to be a hit, whether for prom, Black Tie Awards, or any other award/event you may be attending.

It'll also be stunning for New Year's Eve or Christmas parties for 2012.
