Dress of the Week: 2Be Classic Fit

This week's dress is a classic dress from Kathy Ireland's 2Be collection. 

 
This lovely strapless dress comes with removable halter straps for women who want a little bit more support, even though you may not need it, as the typical fit for 2Be is superior due to the construction of the gown.

The top is a sweetheart neckline with asymmetrical sides, flat pleated with crystals coming from the side, adding just a bit of sparkle throughout the bodice.

The skirt is listed as a modified mermaid, which just means it's form-fitting, but not down to the knee with a flare, rather it hugs your curves subtly allowing a bit more room at the bottom for ease of movement.

It has a chapel-length train that is easily bustled, and the gown looks great on many body shapes. The dress is available in two sizes in ivory and white in the store, and comes in sizes from 2 to 30 from the manufacturer.

Swing in to try this lovely, classic gown on to see if it's the one for you.

Dress of the Week: Destiny's Last Chance!

This week is one more Destiny by Impression dress. It's going out of production at the end of this month!
 
This gorgeous sheath dress is class from top to bottom! This dress is perfect for the outdoor wedding, or informal gathering, but still adds a lot of elegance and timelessness.

The straps form into a deep vee at the bust, and the dress then hugs your curves to a delicately scalloped hem at the floor, forming a very small circular train.

At the waist are loops to hold the belt that comes with the dress, or could fit something more sparkly, to add that bit of bling.

This lace has no sparkles, just intricate detailing throughout the whole gown.

The gown can no longer be ordered past May 1st, so if you are looking for classic lace in a classic shape, yet providing support with straps, this might be your dress!

Come in to try our sample, or, if you love it and it fits you, walk out the door with it! You'll find it's very affordable for such quality.

Bridesmaid Dress of the Month: JS Boutique "De-Light-Ful"


This month's bridesmaid dress is a spectacular printed gown from JS Group's Boutique Collection.

Shown here in a lovely red colour, this gown also comes in light blue and darker blue choices, as well as a lovely floral print.

The sweetheart neckline is pleated and criss-crossed across the bust, with more ruching around the waist. This gives an amazing shape to all bodies, snugging in the waist, and enhancing the bust.

The gown then falls naturally to the floor, in a light chiffon. There is a built-in edge around the bust and back to help the dress stay snug to your body without fear of it falling, but it also comes with spaghetti straps, for that extra bit of peace of mind.

Honestly, the hanger the dress comes on is heavier than the dress itself! It's so light and flowy. It would nicely for any kind of outdoor wedding ceremony, and suits the majority of body styles.

The dress comes in sizes from 2-16, but may be available in larger sizes depending on availability from the manufacturer.

Paper Doll has this dress in the light blue and dark blue fabrics. Come in with your bridesmaids to see if this dress will make your wedding party stand out.

Dress of the Week - Impression Destiny "Sparkle & Shine"

This week's dress is a winner from top to bottom!

A light satin sheath dress, the top is a straight neckline with ruching and pleating along the bodice to the hip on an angle.

Throughout the pleats are sparkles of beads, that don't overpower, but enhance the look.

The gathers on the waist go around to the back zipper, and create a lovely long-torso look, as well as enhancing your natural waist.

The skirt then falls gracefully to the floor, ending in a small train, perfect for outdoors.

As the skirt is not embellished, you can easily add buttons down the back seam, or beads and sparkle to the bottom hem (once it's been hemmed to your length!) by a qualified seamstress.

As the fabric is a light satin, it's perfect for outdoor weddings or summer time ceremonies. The satin sparkles and catches the light too, adding that bit of shine to the whole dress.

This is at a very affordable price point too! If your budget is under $500, you'll be able to get this dress, in white or ivory!

We have only one of these dresses left in stock - the other one was sold within a day of it's arrival - so come in soon to try it on and see if it's the one for you and your special day.
