Runway Report Part 2: Fabulous Ruffle Trims
Ruffle trims were another trend that emerged on the runway during April’s bridal market. The reason that I love this trend so much is because it adds detail and texture to dresses without over embellishing them. It gives a classic look but with a new, fresh detail. If you are a bride that is looking for something a little bit different, but still romantic and pretty this could be just the thing for you.
The two dresses above are great examples of this trend. The first one, by Elizabeth Fillmore, is called “Paulette” and is made in silk poulet, which is a couture weight taffeta. This is a great dress for spring/summer weddings as taffeta is light and easy to wear. And the slim trumpet style skirt it won’t be overwhelming and hot.
The second dress, by Melissa Sweet is called “Virginia” and features hand-rolled swirling ruffle detailing on the skirt. This dress, which is made of silk organza, would look great on many body types as it has a full a-line skirt that is very figure flattering.
Best,
Julie
