My favorite wasn't the winner. :( However, I'm still very inspired by it!
The designer of this dress is Lynsey Bullock from Dothan, AL. The fabrics are a lovely gold silk shantung, with a dyed dotted tulle overlay. (I decided I LOVE dotted tulle after seeing this dress). Her inspirations were Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
This was my other favorite, inspired by the weather on an island near the designer's hometown, where her grandparents met, believe it or not!
Anyways, the rest of the article is here. I should note that I don't consider these dresses particularly modest, but some elements are still very inspiring. (Yet another benefit of knowing how to sew dresses yourself!)

ReplyDeleteUm, I should say though that neither of these dresses are my dresses. I didn't design them. Aren't they GORGEOUS though?!
