I've always loved the weight and feel of a fabric called antique satin, a cross between shantung and satin crepe. Here I mixed it up with a little white Chantilly lace, adding a tulle overskirt for a real romantic look. Modeled by the lovely Sabrina, she's showing off just about every aspect of this dress's charm, as a fitted sheath and ball gown all at once. Oddly enough this particular piece was inspired by another Sabrina--yes, the fictional one played so beautifully by Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film of the same name. If you remember the scene where she shows up at the party in a number she describes as, " Yards of skirt and way off the shoulder . . ." This dress is as lovely inside as out, lined in soft China silk. The hand-rolled floral headpiece is also available as a custom order.
Gown available through Amy-Jo Tatum Bride. More pictures available on request . . .
