The Dress

This is an original dress that I bought from the Vera Wang (VW) Store in New York. Read below for VW's inspiration for the dress.

I have it altered by VW so that it can be bustled up for the first dance. The layers of rose & tulip laces are very elegant and flattering. I had it professionally cleaned after the wedding. It was hand carried to Singapore and stored in the captain closet during the flight, so it was not folded at all.

VW dresses are known to be handmade one by one, especially with its layering, which create such a flattering shape, look and feel. It is very easy to walk around, dance on it, and with its dramatic shape, the photographer has snapped many really amazing shots. I have received many compliments from the guests. Hope it can continue to shine on another gorgeous bride.

---------------------------------------

In Leda, every element comes together to express an Old World sense of refinement and beauty. From its creamy French vanilla color to its intricate, delicate, all-over tulip and rose lace, Leda has an unmistakable heirloom quality.

As with all my dresses this season, the heart and soul of the gown is the lace. With Leda, I wanted to give the dress a very three-dimensional, textural look. I achieved this effect with a overlay of tulip and rose lace on top of web lace, which almost looks like a netting. The web network is actually quite intricate, like a burst of foamy bubbles layered on top of one another. It’s airy and light, so it’s the ideal backdrop for the bold, floral lace.

Throughout Leda, there are soft, curvy lines. A wispy tulle modesty piece on the bodice gives the illusion of something floating on the skin, while the gradual flair of the mermaid skirt curves and hugs the body into a classic hourglass shape. I love this type of modified mermaid silhouette, because there’s still that gorgeous structure on top, but with all the romanticism of a full skirt.

The skirt is where the dress really comes to life, with a voluminous cage construction. Horsehair bands at the bottom of the skirt frame the outer shell of this cage like halos, allowing the fabric to bounce and trap the air and light, making the tulip and rose lace nearly luminescent. And then in the back, there’s this incredible piece of embroidery that sits on top of the cage – layers upon layers of bias-cut, tiered pieces of horsehair and tulle. It creates this embroidery that has a scalloped, tiered cascade effect. Leda is an incredible fusion of texture, volume, and movement.
