Princess Catherine - Another modest dress

The President and his wife met with Prince William and Catherine several days ago.  Princess Catherine was wearing a lovely modest dress.  Within hours the designers website crashed twice because so many girls wanted her dress.


CBS News Report - Princess Catherine dress sells out.

The dress has now sold out! So exciting to see a modest dress sell out!

Supply and Demand - Modest Wedding Dresses?

Doing some research today on the 2011 new designs. I thought perhaps there may be new designs featuring modesty.  On the website http://www.theknot.com/, they promote over 3000+ wedding dresses.  There is a category called "Modest".  In that category there are 11 dresses.  Several of the dresses in the category are strapless, so I assume they were mislabeled. 

Out of the 11 - there is ONE dress that is modest enough for our brides.  The gown does not have sleeves, but features a lovely bateau neckline. 

I find it frustrating as do so many of our brides that out of the 3000 designs, there is ONE that meets their modesty needs.

Am I to assume it's a simple supply and demand marketplace?

Just a thought.

Wedding Dress with Long and 3/4 Length Sleeves

So many of our recent brides are choosing longer sleeve lengths.  As all our bridal gowns have a seam line, it's very easy to change out a sleeve for additional coverage.
In recent years the highest demand was for dresses with short sleeves, but more brides are asking for longer sleeves!

A lace gown featuring long lace sleeves is so lovely and demure.  As October is becoming the ideal month and most popular in the St. Louis area, longer sleeves just make sense.  A wedding in August may be a little too hot for longer sleeves.  It's really up to each bride on how much of her arm she chooses to cover.

More designs are coming to the shop with longer sleeves. Stay tuned!
