I didn't want to post the same ubiquitous entry on Chelsea Clinton's wedding gown. Sure, I couldn't miss this. Not because the bride is American royalty, nor for the name sake of Vera Wang, but I couldn't miss posting this because that gown is so fabulous! I would accept those "sloppy" seconds of the (I hear) custom design from Wang. Or a new version, sans the bejeweled waist, which isn't my thing, with perhaps the addition of a little ruching on the bodice (and perhaps a sweetheart neckline?). Now this is going to cost me $0 as well, right? Le sigh!
Anyway, my own little spin can come thankfully from Catwalk Queen and their splitscreen of the bride and the sketch:
I'm thinking of the fear novice designers may have when we envision something gloriously fabulous and intricate, yet we don't know how to sketch it. Unless it is the human form which troubles your hand, one can get a tip from Vera Wang. Impossibly complicated die-cut tiered dress ... from some fun-to-draw swooshes!
IMHO though, a bride/model of 11.5' in height is not a requirement.
Congratulations to Chelsea's groom, Marc Mezvinsky. Best wishes to the beautiful bride!

That might just be the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen...you go Vera. A real knock out.
