At first glance, this silk and Italian mohair wedding gown from the White Chocolate Label by Scott Corridan is gorgeous. I love the exagerated cuffs and collar, the slightly messy drape of the skirt, and even the large, yet subtle bow at the waist.
However, upon closer examination, one notices that there is precious little preventing the world from getting a good gander at the bride’s nipples!
I suppose that one could experiment with nipples covers or wear some sort of unadorned bra underneath, but that would sort of ruin the effect of the designs in the mohair, wouldn’t it?
You wouldnt want it to be a winter wedding would you. And while the dress is lovely i personaly dont like it, nothing in particular just my personal tastes.
Nipple issues aside, I love the design and the mohair factor. It’s quite orante but simple at the same time.
Camisole? But I agree, it’s unfortunate that putting almost anything underneath would ruin the design effect. Shame they didn’t line it.
I adore the cut of the bodice, but I must admit that skirt is driving me up a wall. I keep wanting to reach into the photo and smooth it out. It’s just a style that makes me a little obsessive.
As for nipple coverage without losing the fabulous look of the mohair design (which I love all to pieces and back again, for the record), my solution would be to line the bodice either in a flesh color or a fun contrast color.
Now, if I could get a (lined) copy of the bodice for a blouse, I could die a happy – not to mention fabulously dressed – woman.
I wonder if this is a little like runway fashion, where they show an extreme version of the design for the attention, but what they sell is actually more toned-down and wearable (or, in this case, lined).
There are these little flesh colored petals that you can use to cover up discreetly.
If they aren’t a close match, (which the ones I use aren’t even close) you can dust them with your face powder/foundation for a perfect match.
They are very easy to put on, just dampen a with a bit of water, and you remove them the same way.
The best thing about these petals is that they come in various sizes.
So I guess the groom gets to be a dear in the headlights….
This dress was featured recently on “Say Yes to the Dress” on TLC. It didn’t seem to be sheer then, so maybe it comes with some type of camisole for the more “reserved” bride. 😉
This is why God created flesh-colored camisoles and liners. But the designer should have lined it already.
probably explains why he isn’t designing wedding gowns anymore!
Who is the designer of this dress and where might I buy a dress like this? I absolutely LOVE it and think it would look just beautiful with a modest bra underneath. I love wedding dresses with collars and you would be surprised just how hard they are to find. I am getting married on the ocean in Maine in October need something relatively warm. If anyone knows where to find this dress or the price or just the designer, I would be quite thankful.
Jules, like it says in the post, this gown is from the White Chocolate Label by Scott Corridan. I know it can (or could) be found at Kleinfeld Bridal, but the number for White Chocolate Label used to be 1-888-WCLABEL.
