The Dress!!!!!!All I can say is 'wow'. Months of waiting and guessing is over and fortunately the dress was NOT  a disappointment.Designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen,the dress was graceful, beautiful and as they say  fit for a princess. The dress was ivory and white, with a full skirt and a lace bodice. The dress had a an illusion neck and long sleeves, very formal and elegant. I have to say all the waiting and lead up was all worth it when I finally saw that dress.

Hot Couture!

Pun fully intended. Haute Couture is where it all starts. By "it" I am referring to all things fashion-related. Haute Couture is French for high sewing and indeed it is, using the most fabulous fabrics and materials the designs are brought to life by talented seamstresses for a specific customer. A haute couture design is never made more than once, no copies or mass produced replicas- there is only ever one of these designs produced which makes it truly one of a kind. 
Just wanted to start my blog by paying my respects to the biggest and best designers in the world: the Haute Couture designers- the hottest of them all. :D
