Facebook strikes again

Well, I had no problems posting links to our DotW for over a year now, but Facebook has decided that Blogspot.ca is spam and won't accept the link anymore.

So, if you'd like to see what our Dress of the Week is, please go to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/paper.doll.formals and read up, follow the links, etc.

We also do a lot of our promotions on the page, so if you're not a fan yet, now would be a good time as I often get bored and will put on surprise sales on the Facebook page.

Thanks for reading the posts so far. Hope to see you around Facebook!

Bridesmaid Dresses of the Month: Impression Bridesmaids Part 3

Once again, we bring three gorgeous dresses from Impression's Bridesmaid collection. Each dress is made to flatter many types of figures and are affordable. These dresses are even more awesome because they don't LOOK like bridesmaid dresses.

The first dress is a spectacular irridescent taffeta strapless dress with a criss-cross top and flower at the hip holding ruffled detailing on the skirt. It's a stunning dress, and we have it in teal in the store.

Three amazing gowns from Impression

The second dress is a pretty chiffon strapless dress with a floral design at the waist. We don't have this dress in the store, but we can get it for you.

The third dress is a lovely criss-cross pleated taffeta dress with a straight-across neckline and a tulip skirt, held with a floral detail a the waist.

Every one of these gorgeous dresses would be amazing in a bridal party or AT a party in a nightclub! These are multi-use dresses for sure, and won't be hanging in the back of anyone's closet after the wedding.

Come in to try on dress one and three. They are available in over 20 colours. They usually take around 12 weeks to come in and will most likely need alterations in the bust and waist (depending on measurements).

Dress of the Week: Saving in Style

This week's dress is actually plural. We have a bunch of beautiful gowns on sale for 25% off or 50% off and I'm going to show you just a few.

First up is a gorgeous 2Be by Kathy Ireland dress. The quality in this gown is inside and out, and we featured it here last year as our first Dress of the Week.

Then we have the three beautiful gowns from Beautifully Modest. A sheath and two drop waist ball gowns for the woman who wants a little bit more coverage. We've featured two them here, here, and here!

Next up we have three lovely gowns from Impression Bridal's Destiny collection. The lace one is discontinued, so it's 50% off! The other two gowns are stunning, and perfect for the summer wedding you're aiming for.

Check out the lacy dress's write-up here.

The next two are from Jasmine Bridal. They are discontinued and are available for 50% off! They are stunning and look amazing on, with sparkles and little details all over the skirts. Check out our write ups on them here (including a couple other dresses from this page too!).  

This dress from JS Group is a super informal dress, but with enough sparkle that it won't be overlooked! It's a perfect dress for a Vegas or vintage inspired wedding.

And here's our Mary's Bridal dress that we love.

All these dresses, and MORE are available to help you keep costs down but still look spectacular on your special day. A great option, they shouldn't be overlooked when shopping for a gown.

Event Dress of the Month: bLAck Perle

Our event dress this month celebrates the elegance of Mothers. These lovely dresses from Impression Bridal's La Perle Collection are all about individuality, style and grace.

La Perle 40055

Shown here in black, but available in many colours, the lace top has a highlighting band of sparkle just under the bust, then alternates with two bands of satin to the top of the hip. The chiffon skirt then flows to the floor.

The back is what sets this dress apart from the rest.

Back of dress

The keyhole back shows off your figure while still providing enough coverage so you could wear support underneath.

The gown comes with a matching shawl/scarf and is stunning on.

Come into Paper Doll Formals to see if this gown is the one you're looking for. Check out other La Perle gowns as we can order them in for you. We have four or five different styles in stock to choose from, all classics.

Dress of the Week - Destiny's Pockets!

This week's dress is full of surprises.

From Impression Bridal's Destiny collection, this lovely taffeta dress starts with a sweetheart neckline and pleated bust.

The ballgown skirt has plenty of room to add a crinoline underneath, or leave it as it comes with an elegant drape.

The sparkle belt at the waist is a nice addition as it can be switched out for more bling.

But the best part about this dress is the pockets! The popper snaps keep them closed and flat when not in use, but they're there when you need them for tissues, keys, or anything small.

 This is an awesome summer dress, perfect for an outdoor wedding or informal gathering, with just the right amount of elegance for a smaller indoor event too.

The price is very budget conscious, so if you think this might be your gown, swing in to try it on today. It's available in white and ivory and is currently in the store in an ivory size 20. 

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.
