Dorothy Lee
"I'm really attracted to garments that don't pop immediately, but become more interesting the longer you look at them."
Having grown up in Los Angeles, the daughter of an architect, Dorothy Lee came to appreciate the beauty in landscaping, interior design and fine arts. With such a vast understanding of beauty, Dorothy draws her inspiration from some unusual places. The designer says, "For my debut collection I did extensive studies in origami before creating an appliqué used in several pieces. And for holiday, one of the pleated hem jackets was inspired by the tail feathers of a phoenix." Her family bestowed in her a discerning eye for quality and comfort, which is the basis for her debut collection.
Dorothy decided to follow her passions when she pursued an education in fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London. Dorothy continued on to graduate from Parsons post-graduate program in Fashion Design. While at Parsons, she contributed to the design team of Peter Som and marketing team at Chanel. Upon graduation, she returned to her native Los Angeles and took a position with designer William Beranek and later joined Leon Max’s design team.

If given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp my entire wardrobe I would choose Miuccia Prada. She is amazing!
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?!?
