Parentable Article, Michelle Duggar on why she chose Modesty

A good portion of our lovely brides have the same Modesty standards as the Duggar Family.  Higher necklines, longer sleeves, full covered.  That's why we love the Felice dress by the Epoch Collection. 
So many of our brides want the extra coverage around the neckline. Here is the article by Mrs. Duggar: parentables article by Michelle Duggar 

Beautifully Modest Closed

Sadly, one of our favorites stores - Beautifully Modest/Allyse's Bridal has closed. 

We picked up all the designs from the Epoch Collection - Modest-Couture.com All the 2014 designs are in the shop now.

There is an online e-commerce site for them, but if you're interested in trying a design on, call the shop.

Modest Wedding Dresses with Long Sleeves

As posted previously, brides have different ideas of what modesty means. For 2013, we have introduced two dresses that are a little more revealing at the top.
The top is covered by lace and includes sleeves, however the lace is sheer.  When the lace is sheer the gown does not meet the modesty standards of many of the brides we currently see.

For instance, the princess Kate Middleton wore a dress that covered her shoulders and arms, but had a deep plunging neckline and would not be permissible for weddings for many of our brides.

No fear, we are not heading towards the strapless gown, but feel we should offer more options for brides that are comfortable with being covered but sheer is acceptable for them.

2013 Trends for Bridal Gowns - SLEEVES!

So happy that The Knot announced sleeves are all over the runway's for 2013 wedding gowns. Sleeves, thanks to Princess Katherine continues to be popular.

However, a trend on the runways are peplum skirts.  Yuck!  I'm not a fan. Reminds me of the 1980's.

Out of State Brides

Sometimes it's hard to believe that there are only a handful of modest-only bridal stores in the United States. 
Since the beginning of this year, we've seen a good number of brides from Indianapolis, Odem, Loogootee, Chicago, all looking for a modest wedding dress. 

At least 10 brides have asked us to open a store in Indiana just in the past 6 months.

We are still considering taking a significant inventory to Indiana so we can come to brides instead of brides coming to us.

Wondering if that's a good idea?
