The 'Lucinda' Gown is everything vintage. When I first laid eyes on this Chantilly lace and crepe backed satin sitting side by side on the shelf, it evoked images of vintage Hollywood and and Art Deco. Once I sketched out what I envisioned I had a long, sleek skirt with a lace halter bodice and cummerbund. The five pearl buttons down the front were added later. Appliques of beaded Alencon lace accent the neckline and lace waist drape. The skirt has a wisp of sweep train in back.
I was flattered when my husband complimented me on designing this gown. He's a very precise guy and lover of all things symmetrically beautiful. I also think Lucinda has a particular, body-hugging sex appeal perfect for women who want to bring out that wedding day diva.
