Although it's my "own" design. It looks a lot like the one featured in the photo. Heck! it looks a lot like all of the dresses on her site. I’m getting my dress from Olivia Luca.

It's probably me, though. My brain hasn't been functioning at all today. The list of fabrics was fantastic! The photos were so clear you could almost feel the swatches slip through your fingers and the descriptions would give someone who isn't familiar with weaves and fibers a good idea of what they're really like. Nice. I also really love the emphasis on organic and fair trade fabrics. It always does my hippiesque little heart good to see these terms applied to luxury items...or any items. Oh, and if I'd been handed one of those flower girl dresses to wear when I was a kid? I would have worn it until it was in tatters or I couldn't squeeze any body part into it anymore. And I have to say, one of the things I've always been particularly happy about with my wedding is my custom gown. There's not another like it and I felt gorgeous. Then it took second place in the county fair. Somehow I only seem to be able to get to one photograph in her gallery, so I’m glad you have some other examples here. It’s probably me, though.
