A Designer\'s Book of Bridal Gowns

If you are designing your own wedding gown or just trying to create a mental image of the perfect gown, don’t miss A Designer’s Book of Bridal Gowns. My copy came in the mail this afternoon and so far it looks like a fantastic resource for go-getter gown shoppers.

Written by artist, fashion designer, and seamstress Debby Roosa, the book outlines a variety of dress styles as they relate to body types and formality levels. Additionally, it deconstructs the elements of a dress, giving examples of different sorts of sleeves, necklines, bodices, skirts, and so on. Brides-to-be can trace individual elements using tracing paper and then mix and match until they’ve found the style that suits them best! How cool is that?

About Christa Terry: Christa Terry is a writer and wedding and lifestyle expert whose book iDo: Planning Your Wedding with Nothing But ‘Net is a one-stop planning resource for modern, free-thinking brides and grooms. With one husband, one toddler, and more on the way – kids, not husbands – Christa somehow manages to stay on top of the tricks and trends that make getting married and living life stylish and fun.

    Not much on my mind lately, but that’s how it is. My life’s been dull these days, but such is life. I haven’t been up to much recently.
