Gold & Navy for Film Festival

“The dress was amazing and I’d like to thank you again for the help in finding it, I had an amazing time.”

Matilde wore our gorgeous gold and navy gown to this years Venice Film Festival, to watch the premiere of A Marriage Story.

This is such a great dress, the gold high neck bodice adds a subtle sparkle, the slight a line skirt is easy to move in and gives the body great balance and shape. A great feature on this dress is the waistband, it breaks the bodice and the skirt up and creates a tiny waistline.

A great choice for this type of event, it stands out from the crowd without it being too much. Matilde has added simple gold bracelets, a good move as you cannot wear a necklace with this gown and only a simple earring will do, as the detail of the dress is on the bodice. Here she is looking very glam walking the red carpet.

It was way back in 2005. I wanted to do a Mum & Daughter type photo-shoot for One Night Stand to showcase dresses side-by-side. Photographer Robert Whitaker was a regular at Chelsea Manor Studios — he used to hang out with Ben John downstairs — so naturally I asked if he’d be interested in the job. He said, ‘Yes’.

Whitaker got ex-Bond Girl Tania Mallet to be Mum, above wearing a vintage black and gold off-shoulder ball gown by Terence Nolder, and another model as the daughter.

I can’t remember whose idea it was to shoot in the back of a London taxi; almost certainly Bob, he liked his photos to have a concept. In fact, his instinct for a provocative narrative coupled with The Beatles mischievous nature helped to get them all banned for the ‘Yesterday and Today’ album cover.

Miss Galaxy Pageant: Off Shoulder Ruffle Evening Dress

Magdalena wore this blue, figure-hugging, off shoulder ruffle dress for Miss Galaxy Pageant.
“Thank you! The dress was absolutely perfect for my competition.”

In the midst of the chaos going on back stage Magdalena managed to take a quick snap before making her grand entrance for the Miss Galaxy Pageant.

This deep-blue figure-hugging, off shoulder ruffle evening dress is perfect to show off those curves. The hem of this dress has whats called a ‘horsehair braid’ sewn into it, which is what makes the dress hold this shape when moving around. Perfect for the stage or just walking into a room! Teamed up with a fab pair of earrings this is most certainly an eye catcher.

Green Satin Ball Gown for Golden Unicorn Film Awards

Daria stood out from the crowd at the 2018 Golden Unicorn Awards and Russian Film Festival, adding a splash of colour to the party with this gorgeous green satin ball gown.

Gorgeous green satin ball gown, bodice is covered in sparkly glass beads & full satin skirt pulls in at the waist to create a beautiful silhouette.

The full satin skirt pulls in at the waist to create a beautiful silhouette. The bodice is covered in tiny green glass beads, adding a touch of sparkle and magic.

Reaching New Heights

Ladies of shorter stature sometimes worry about wearing ball gowns because of their height. We liked the deep V illusion panel at the front of this ball gown because it accentuates verticals and helps to create a beautifully proportioned ensemble. We have other dresses that pull off similar tricks in different ways, plus a bunch of tried and tested tips to boost your poise (and your confidence).

Daria fell in love with this gown the second she tried it on and you can see why, doesn’t she look stunning?

Red Off Shoulder Ball Gown for Rose of Tralee

Since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of the dress I would wear if selected as the Wexford Rose. It was the first one I tried on and straight away I know it was the one. I absolutely loved the rose pattern underneath and how the red popped on my skin tone. Thank you to Jess and Joanna for helping me find my perfect dress!

Red Off Shoulder Ball Gown for Rose of Tralee

Sairose hadn’t found the right dress until she came to us for an appointment. We picked out this red dress with the rose lining for her and it worked perfectly. She liked the way it moved and she needed a gown without too many details or beading on the top because they are given jewellery to wear. We tried out a lot of alternative dresses to see if we could top it, but this gown ticked all the boxes and, of course, it had roses! Read more “Red Off Shoulder Ball Gown for Rose of Tralee” →
