The Mayor's Ball

Gals,

We were thrilled to be asked recently to design the official gown for the Waterford City Mayor for the Formal Mayor's Ball. As soon as we got the commission we knew instantly the ensemble we wanted to create for Mayor Mary. Over the months we met and discussed the shape/fit/fabric of the gown and had fittings to tailor the gown perfectly.

The Ball was on last night in the Tower Hotel, Waterford City and it was a huge success. Mary looked absolutely incredible in her Black Silk Couture Corset and Skirt. A matching silk black bolero completed the look. There will be official photos released in the local press this week which we will be sure to share with you.

Meanwhile back at the ranch , it was only 2 days to go and I still had no gown myself! Luckily we managed to rustle something up just in time. Ger sent me down a gorgeous antique lace fascinator with cream vintage veiling in the post with a little note attached ( Cinderella shall go to the ball!) It was the cherry on top. :)

My gown was a vintage inspired tea stain tulle number with pearl and rhinestone epulettes and draping beaded accents by " bonzie " ... bien sur!

More pics to come....
