Stand up for the red, white, and blue

By Never teh Bride

Happy Independence Day, people of the U.S.! We get so few vacations in general that this one always seems really special. To mark the occasion, here is a dress conceived of by Gregory Cherico, owner of Anne Gregory for the Bride.

And here is a cake to match, from Diana’s Dream Cakes — which is actually in Canada.

For full color coordination, look at last year’s July fourth post for a red, white, and blue ring idea. Too bad the fireworks are going to get rained out, at least here in Boston.

    I like how the dress form has mini flags instead of a head!

    Oh thanks a LOT for pointing that out, NtB!

    One of the formal wear shops near me has a display of patriotic dresses in their window this week. I have to say, I sort of liked the white skirt they displayed that had an inset of red and white striped fabric in the front, but I would have eschewed the blue bodice with it.
