They say mother knows best, but in this case, my daughter found the best! 🌸
I couldn't resist showing you this incredibly special vintage ensemble she sourced for me in Vermont. It's a 1980s Priscilla of Boston, and anything but cookie-cutter.
A removable, sheer organza top lays beautifully over an updated ✂️structured strapless ball gown. The actual showstopper, though, is the artisanal embroidery—a beautiful cluster of pink lilac flowers and soft green leaves that adds that perfect 'personality-driven' pop of color.
I wish I could show it to you in person, but a savvy bride snapped this one up before it was even in the atelier for a week!
As a designer, my greatest joy isn't just reimagining these vintage garments, but also seeing how my daughters' discerning eyes and devotion to the 'slow fashion’ movement help keep Maybelle filled with true, one-of-a-kind treasures.
