Stage & Screen
This gorgeous photo was taken last month of Naomi performing at her cello recital.
Naomi needed something spectacular to stand out as the soloist but also comfortable enough to play her instrument with ease between her knees. We chose this boned and strapless red taffeta ball gown.
What a beautiful setting!
Awards
This blonde bombshell and fabulous actress, was seen on the red carpet last month, at the National TV Awards.
Hannah is wearing a navy jersey, deep plunging, heavily beaded neck line dress. This is a great dress to show of them curves, as the slinky jersey clings to all the right places and the deep v is just low enough that there is not too much cleavage on show. The long train adds a touch of elegance and always adds some drama for the red carpet. Teamed with a faux fur crisp white stole to keep of that winter chill.
Stage & Screen
Danya, a very lucky lady, was invited to the Oscars last week. Not many get this opportunity, so Danya decided to go all out on the red carpet.
She is wearing a chocolate brown, slightly embroidered ball gown, fitted at the waist and with a full skirt for added volume.
Dayna, you should have won an Oscar for ‘Best Dressed!’
Awards
It’s that time of year again, where award winning actors and actresses are credited for their performances throughout the year. But I can’t bypass this blog-post without a mention of the glamorous, show stopping, jaw dropping, evening dresses that grace the red carpet every February. It’s black tie at its finest. And we are lucky to say, we have some of our own attending this prestigious event.
Keep on the lookout for photos from the event.
Party
Emma (left) hired our incredible strapless, tulle fishtail, heavily encrusted gown for her cousin’s 18th birthday party. This soft colour works great for a summer party and the jewels look fabulous especially as the evening draws near. Emma looks gorgeous in this gown. A special dress for a special day. They had the whole of Warwick Racecourse for the occasion so that sure is something to dress to the high 9’s for!
ONS Tip: A fishtail bottom works very well on ladies with broader shoulders and the skirt creates a good balance between top and bottom.
Stage & Screen
Patricia, the lady on the right, is one of our regular customers.
She had a super exciting event to attend, the London Fitness Fashion Show at the 02 recently and see came third place.
Of course, she is wearing our knock out gold strapless dress, a true winner in our eyes!
Prom & Uni
The demure Rachel here wore our low back black jersey gown that ties at the back and hangs loosely. Worn to her leavers ball this Monday evening.
Such a grand photo, we hope she’ll be back in the future!
Black Tie
Anna, (on the left in the picture) hired this black and gold lace top with embellishment, and then accessorised it with this tulle black scarf for the evening – how very formal they all look!
Stage & Screen
Last night’s 58 year old canard, the Eurovision song contest features a drab four chord load of instantly forgettable tunes. But some interesting outfits. I like the fact that more and more acts are choosing to wear long dresses instead of the commoner leather or short appliqued frock horrors of the past.
Best dressed would have gone to Ukraine (was it Ukraine?) for that pale pink strapless gown except for the dress-maker failing to account for hip movement resulting in an unattractive bulge that destroyed an otherwise perfect column.
In a neon pink ball gown straight out of Star Wars, the Compere or shall we say commere’s outfit was good in close up, framing her cleavage and balancing the butterfly beehive, but with those Japanese sleeves and ugly panel missing in the skirt ruined what could have been a timelessly elegant classic gown. A typical example of a dress designed by committee.
Denmark’s winning number was not just in the tune. This pretty ballet length hanky hem dress suited the song, the singer and deserved its place at the top. Talking of hankys what about the handsome Armenian with the scarves? Is this a future trend, guys, or was he promoting his sister’s accessory company? Skirts anyone?
Did anyone else see a singer in silver sequins fall off the stage during the “visit Sweden” promo song?
Germany’s beige sequined pageant gown with the hi-low hemline didn’t work for me. The stiffness of that heavily beaded fabric looked clumpy as she moved about the stage; hi-low hemlines work best in a soft flowing fabric.
Britain’s Bonnie Tyler – well…..who’s idea was it to put her in a black off the shoulder cat suit? Didn’t suit her, didn’t suit the song. What more can one say?
Finland’s wedding dress certainly fitted the tune but ruined by the pink over boots and the back group in red PVC pinafores – golden showers, anyone?
Estonia, my favourite. An elegant strapless flowing white gown. Pregnant she may be, but the dress was beautifully balanced nonetheless.
