Claire Pettibone
Los Angeles designer Claire Pettibone sites Paris in the 1920's, Victorian lingerie, and the icon of "woman" throughout history as inspiration for her collection of couture bridal gowns. The gowns have a vintage quality, but the references are combined in a way that is truly modern. "The silhouettes are more contemporary than a traditional bridal gown, but the fabrics I work with are very feminine and elaborate so the dress still has all the drama that a bridal gown should have" says Pettibone who works exclusively with couture European embroideries and laces. She finds a perfect balance of opulence and understatement that is fast becoming a favorite of LA's celebrities and socialites.
Closet Chatter
I have to agree with the others Homeschoolmama. Go with the company you trust and know that you're going to get a quality dress. And if it's beautiful the color doesn't matter as long as you like it.
HSM- I was not able to see the dress using the link you provided but I agree with Daphne. You should not risk purchasing from a company that you are unsure of for such an important event.
Homeschoolmama I would go with a company I trust. You wouldn't want to risk having something go terribly wrong, especially if the quality is in question.
Can I ask you all a question?
I'm less than a year from our 20th anniversary, and we'll be renewing our vows. I thought I'd order a pretty gown in chocolate brown. But I've been hearing stories about the company & their inability to get a dress shipped in a timely manner, as well as some nightmares about quality that have made me second-guess ordering through them.
Then this morning, I found this dress. (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/romantic-storyline-dress)
I LOVE the lace & chiffon, LOVE the modest neckline, and LOVE the defined-but-not-cinched waistline. I love that it would "go" with absolutely everything else I have planned, and the shape would look great on me. I even love that it's through Modcloth since I know & love their clothing already, AND it's $40 cheaper than the brown dress.
BUT... it's ivory. And I wasn't gonna "go there" with ivory because I DON'T want it to look like a bridal gown! So my question is... if it were you, would you wear an ivory dress, or keep shopping for a brown dress through a company you could trust?!?
