The Enchanting Ballgown That Almost Stole the Spotlight

Our lady had the exciting task of preparing for an extravagant wedding, a lavish affair taking place in the resplendent ballroom of Claridge’s. With a guestlist of 400 people in attendance, she knew she needed a ball gown that exuded grandeur and sophistication, all while ensuring she didn’t outshine the bride.

The challenge was to find a dress that struck the perfect balance – one that covered her arms, exuded elegance, and avoided any hint of impropriety.

After meticulous searching, she finally discovered the ideal dress. This standout piece boasted an enchanting illusion bodice and delicate sleeves, adorned with intricate lace detailing that added a touch of ethereal beauty. What’s more, it was bedecked with a sprinkling of subtle sparkles, creating a captivating play of light and glamour.

The gown’s allure didn’t stop there; it also featured an open back design that added a touch of daring allure, complemented by a high neckline to maintain an air of sophistication. Hidden within the dress was a cleverly designed bra that provided full support, ensuring our lady could dance the night away without a worry.

Secret Boning

Thanks to the dress’s secret boning and cinched waist, it masterfully accentuated her figure, creating the most flattering silhouette imaginable. The overall effect was sheer elegance and grace, a timeless look that would be remembered long after the wedding had passed.

Not only was this dress a perfect fit for a white tie event, but it also came in a vibrant and fun colour – green! To our client’s delight, green happened to be her favorite color, making this choice even more lucky.

With her exquisite ball gown now secured, our lady was ready to dazzle the guests and enjoy a night of celebration and joy, knowing she would look stunning and sophisticated without overshadowing the bride on her special day.

Red Lace Evening Gown for Red Carpet BAFTA Winner

“Thank you so much for such a fabulous dress for a fabulous night!! Will definitely be using your service again, it was an amazing experience.”

It’s award season and the BAFTAS are fast approaching! I thought it would be nice to look back to Alannah looking absolutely stunning in one of our red lace evening gowns at the BAFTAs at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

This gorgeous dress has a mesh top, for added support, which is scattered with little sparkly red gems. It’s got short sleeves, great for covering the tops of the arms, and a built-in bra. If you feel you want a bit more lift you could wear a strapless bra. The subtle satin belt around the waistline with the full skirt is super flattering. Some tend to think that wearing a red dress on the red carpet is a no-go zone, but if you it get it right it really works.

Alannah had the most amazing time and, to make it even more memorable, she and the team won Best Visual Effects for the film 1917. A winning outfit at the BAFTAs and congratulations to you all!

Confidence Is Key

Priyanka, on the left, didn’t have fixed ideas of style or colour so we encouraged her to try a range of dresses to discover which ones made her feel good. A full skirt wasn’t really on her radar but this black and gold gown felt right as soon as she put it on and walked to the mirror.

She liked the fact that the gown had sleeves and that the pretty lace bodice showed hints of skin, so she didn’t feel completely covered up either. The fullness of the skirt balanced nicely with her frame.

You need confidence in your outfit to let you really enjoy the event, and this one got a big thumbs-up!

Royal Blue Evening Gown Has Hidden Secret

Corniela came in to us needing a long gown for her Creating New Beginnings charity event at the Hilton, Kensington. Like most big-busted women she was conscious of having to wear a bra with every outfit and worried about finding a stand-out formal dress that would suit both her and the occasion. We persuaded her try this Royal blue evening gown and she loved it.

This dress has secret cups stitched into the top and also has boning to hold everything place. You don’t need a bra at all, the dress does all the lifting for you. A straight finish across the bust doesn’t show any cleavage; instead you end up with a really flattering neckline with attention going to your neck and shoulders instead. The elbow length sleeves are good for those of us who fret about our upper arms.
