Dress of the Week - Jasmine "Glamour Girl"

I try not to do two DotW from the same manufacturer in a row, but this gown has just arrived and it's amazing:

From Jasmine Bridal, this gown is a stunner! Created in a lovely light taffeta, this gown is elegance from top to bottom.

Delicate beading along the top of the sweetheart neckline is the only sparkle on this dress, but the dress catches the light as it moves, so it doesn't need more.

The fabric is on the diagonal and the close-fitting sheath falls to the knee, where it flares out into a lovely draped skirt.

The back has its own surprise in store! Ruffles of taffeta fall along the back seam, all the way to the lovely chapel-length train.

The inside of the gown has Jasmine's typical waist band that holds the gown closely to the body, and the internal corset ensures a snug and complete fit to you.

Available in Creme, Gold, Ivory and White this gown is priced very reasonably and is available for trying on at Paper Doll Formals NOW!

Dress of the Week - Jasmine "Fit For A Queen"

This week's dress is a classic - but only until the end of this month!

By Jasmine bridal, this dress is elegant and awe-inspiring. The intricately beaded and embroidered Italian Satin strapless neckline catches the light as you move, lighting up your face.

The waist is surrounded by a band of satin that is gathered in front with a beautiful, delicately beaded applique.

The perfect a-line skirt continues the beading and embroidery all the way down, creating a lovely pattern across the whole skirt, including along the 75" Tiffany Train. This cut is especially flattering on women with hour-glass figures (large bust, large hips).

The back of the dress is lovely too with a corset/lace-up back that goes to the tailbone. The ties are long enough to trail elegantly along the back of the skirt.

The inside of this dress is up to Jasmine's usual high standards with an internal boning that holds the shape of the bodice to you without causing discomfort.

This dress is available in white, ivory, creme and gold from sizes 4-28... but ONLY until June 30th. After this date, the dress is no longer available for re-order and you will only be able to purchase the sample... if you can find it in your size!

Paper Doll Formals has this dress IN STOCK now, in sample size 20. Until the end of this month, ALL re-orders of this dress are 10% off the selling price, and if you purchase the dress off the rack AS IS, you will receive 20% off the selling price.

Do not delay - come in to see this dress (and two others that are also discontinued at the end of this month) and see if it's YOUR dress. We'd hate for you to miss out on the perfect dress for your wedding.

Dress of the Week - 2Be in Lace

This week's dress is a dream of lace and tulle.

This strapless empire gown is class from top to bottom.

The strapless sweetheart neckline is highlighted by a row of beads that gathers the rushed bust and is bracketed by more glistening beads and sparkles.

The internal waist band and corset holds the dress to your body, giving a lovely shape while the dress falls to the floor in a classic empire sillhouette.

The lace applique overlay is not fussy, and the skirt ends in a lovely, floaty embroidered hem.

What makes this dress magical is the back.

Tulle is gathered at the back and is allowed to fall to a lovely chapel length train, ending in more embroidery.

Check out this dress at Kathy Ireland's 2Be Bridal and then try it on at Paper Doll Formals.

Dress of the Week - Jasmine "Meringue Swirl"

This week's Dress is not much on a hangar, but on a bride, it's AMAZING!

From Jasmine Bridal, this ball-gown dress is a fairy-tale concoction of organza and Italian satin.

The strapless bodice is edged in delicate beading, with beading throughout the rushed bodice on the organza. Inside is a strap that holds the bodice tightly to your waist, giving you a spectacular silhouette. The beading is echoed along the bottom of the bodice.

The ball-gown skirt then lightly flairs out to delightful organza swirls throughout, including down the chapel-length train.

The back is half zipper/half lace-up. The laces are well-made satin and lay flat against your back.

This dress is available in Creme, Gold, Ivory and White, from sizes 4-28!

Paper Doll Formals has this gown in Ivory, and it's a delight to wear. Come in soon to see how lovely you'll look in this dress!

Dress of the Week - Mary's Bridal Short & Sweet

This Dress of the Week is the whole package - only shorter!

This a-line dress from PC Mary's Bridal is perfect for an informal or garden wedding.

The sweetheart neckline (with detachable straps) tops a jeweled bodice with a lace-up back. The ruched empire waist band gives a flattering look to the waist and allows the skirt to flow out from underneath.

The skirt, a knee-length iridescent organza, has beautiful embroidery over it, flowing into a lovely scalloped hem with pearls, beads and sequins.

There is a lovely organza bolero jacket with lace accents on it, and a matching handbag too.

This dress is available in white or ivory, in sizes 4 through 30!

Perfect for an outdoor affair, this dress will carry you from ceremony through the reception in style and comfort.

Paper Doll Formals has this dress in stock for try on and it is priced so that you could even buy it for your second, "Reception Dress" if you wanted! Come in and see our lovely Dress of the Week.

Dress of the Week - Nina Duong's Lucille

This week's DotW is a little cutie.

Lucille is her name and fun is her game! This darling a-line in shantung silk starts with a flattering sweetheart neckline and adds some wow to the bodice with black hand-sewn lace around the bodice.

The skirt looks like two layers with strategically placed pickups near the bottom, and ends around the knee for the bride to show off her fabulous legs.

This dress is couture, but at an affordable price. Lucille is created by Nina Duong Couture, now celebrating their 10th year in business.

Lucille joins her friends Coco, Victoria (our first DotW), and Janet in store at Paper Doll Formals - the only retailer outside of Ontario who carries this exclusive Canadian designer.

Come in to see how affordable couture can be for your wedding!
