Forgive me while I wax bridal for a moment. As mentioned before I watched
The Sound of Music yesterday
which of course has my favorite all time wedding dress. I can't get
over Maria's dress and I never will. It's in nowise
historically accurate for approximately 1938, but I love it anyway. I
love late 1950s, early 1960s wedding gowns with fitted bodices and A-line skirts with so much fullness in the back.

While Googling said dress I found
Colette Komm's blog. This woman is everything I want to be! She got her fashion degree from Parsons and now designs and makes couture wedding gowns out of NYC. From her
sister's wedding I'm assuming she's LDS as it sure looks like a temple wedding. LDS or not this woman creates amazingly special but
modest wedding gowns. I have half a mind to save all my pennies to collaborate on my future dress with her. Browsing her site we seem to have a lot in common with our wedding dress goals and ideals and we both had mad crushes on Georg von Trapp. Look at her blog and website, she's an inspiration to anyone that wants a unique and modest gown. I have half a mind to see if I can apprentice with her for a summer. She's also a great
renderer and she rightly caught that Kate's wedding dress is
more Maria than Princess Grace.
Very useful site as far as waxing tips are concerned. For wax Gown kindly refer to the link.
