vera wang bridal : There's a show on Vera Wang on Bravo, which shows her designing a new lineof bridal dresses. Just thought it might be of interest to some.I was surprised by her veils, which appear to be just pieces of nettingcut into particular shapes, e.g. circle, square, triangular with curves inback, etc. and just laid atop the bride's head! Does anyone know if shedoes other things to attach or gather these things, or if this is reallyher intention? Many of them shown were short, falling around thecollarbone. They looked sort of cute, but I cannot say how one walksaround with just a piece of fabric draped over their head and blowing intotheir face as they propel forward. ???Having had recent occasion to look at some old wedding pictures, I wassurprised at how 60's brides seemed to wear some type of little "crown"with the veil poofing out of the top (and also a veil piece underneath).Interesting. Some very old pictures, around 1900's, showed more of a long(perhaps waist, knee, or longer?) flat veil hanging down over the hair andbody, sometimes held up with flowers at the front or sides.
vera wang bridal : Anyway, back to Vera Wang, it was interesting how she was talking aboutshowing that bridal dresses can be sensual and body conscious, while stilllooking "bridal". I especially liked one she was fixing in her shop onthe model, with gathered ruffles. It was very body-hugging, but had theseadorable ruffles and "fluffy" elements to give it that "bride" look.The dress that she herself wore to her wedding, I thought was utterlygruesome. It was baffling (or, maybe not, paradoxically) that this bridaldesigner would wear such a bad dress to her own wedding.... it was like,too many ideas going on at once.... while her own dresses, by contrast,are cool because they put together two or three ideas that work withoutoverwhelming each other.I miss the fluffy, all-lace dresses of yore! It is quite an experience towear one.... to wear anything that requires a couple of petticoats, inthis day and age. Very fun, very "fairy tale". I don't see too manyfairy dresses nowadays that move me. Most of them are either created tomake the bride look like a FAIRY (i.e. with a tulle ballerina tinkerbelleskirt), rather than a fairy-tale princess. And the other "big" dressesare so loaded down with cutouts and beading and junk that a person wouldbe drowned alive in them. Where is the good fluff? I wish I could designa good fluffy dress.
vera wang bridal : Why does Sorkin want to entice male viewers to go shopping for prom dresses?What else is she going to wear to all those state dinners? A Donna Karansuit?Maybe I'm really out of it, but I never met a teen with the budget to buyVera Wang for a prom.On Sun, 12 May 2002 17:24:07 -0400, "Songbird" wrote:Hee you've never seen the spoiled rich brats around these parts....From: ()Subject: Re: Vera Wang Newsgroups: Date: 2002-05-13 02:14:07 PST And I haven't a clue as to what or who Vera Wang is.Big scandal: Knock-off Vera Wangs sold to unsuspecting brides!WMAQ News (Channel 5, Chicago) uncovered knocks offs being sold in the bridalshop at Marshall Field's, the department store chain owned by Dayton-Hudson.Field's, once a store noted for its reputation for high-quality service, hasallowed other merchants to do business in its stores under the guise of theField's name.

vera wang bridal : I'm probably not that stereotypical, but I'm certainly aware of who andwhat a Vera Wang is.---"Short white gloves are now considered the symbol of female repression, while long white gloves, the symbol of upper class tyranny. Miss Manners is thinking of combining them to demonstrate that she is a repressed tyrant."<< My wife explained to me what a Vera Wang was. I can't be the onlyperson in the audience who wouldn't have known without someone toexplain it. Now, I hesitate to get too essentialist here, but when Isaw the email to CJ, my first thought was "the stalker is a woman,because a man wouldn't know what a Vera Wang was." I know, my thinkingis locked into v.narrow gender stereotypes.I know who Vera Wang is from the Oscars, and from watching just about anywedding special (ie: from Martha Stewart or NBC's Today program).I missed the Vera Wang sign in the store, because I was trying to answer emailat the same time I was watching (or, should I say, listening and sometimeswatching) the show. But it also occured to me, the stalker may have been close enough to hear CJ'sdiscussion with her neice. That would mean he was pretty damn close. Or, he may have accessed CJ's credit card records.I'm making the assumption it's a "he" because I remember some reference tostalkers being predominantly (but not exclusively) male.I also had a different interpretation as Mark Harmon's character started toaccess CJ's email. For a split second before the threatening email becamereadable, I wondered if HE was the stalker. I think we can cross him off thelist.
vera wang bridal : I've been going through a lot of bridal fashion magazines, screeching withfrustration over endless pages of trains and ballgown style skirts and otherfoofy things. I don't want any of that stuff. I mean it's FINE but Theceremony and the reception are in the backyard of his parents' house andthere's going to be 50 people there MAX including the band. a floor lengthgown to trail around in the grass just seems stupid, never mind any kind oftrain to catch in an exposed nail in the deck.And I saw one - a perfect one, a wonderful one! in the January issue ofModern Bride. It was in the multi-page spread for Vera Wang - a tinypicture just two inches high of a funnel necked, bell sleeved mid thigh lacedress over what looks like a white slipdress. It looks fantastic. Exactlywhat I want. But I want to see the detail that I would get from a largerpicture before I call a salon about it - that cute little thing isexpensive.I mean, that lace - is it allencon or chantilly? or is it an english cottonnet with hand appiled lace motifs over the semlines and darts? or is itorganza treated the same way? I cant even guess. I need to find a biggerpicture. the Vera Wang website doesn't picture any of the gowns I saw inthat advertisement. I'm not sure where I'd find it, but I have to see abigger picture to find out if it's as promising as I hope.
