We have always been HUGE fans of UK designer Stephanie Allin and she never ceases to amaze us with her minimal, romantic take on timeless styles. She stunned us with La Dolce Vita in 2010 (there’s not a woman out there who could resist her Bardot) and made us fall for Night and Day in 2013, but – prepare yourself for a bit of a bold statement here guys – her 2015 Always & Forever collection may be her best yet. This is a collection of gowns that are entirely wearable, ridiculously romantic, and will make you feel like nothing short of a Goddess when you don one.
Stephanie Allin gowns are all about luxe fabrics and expert tailoring and are designed with an ultra feminine physique in mind. Traditional ball gown silhouettes are Allin’s forte – where corsets flatter curves and billowing chiffon skirts create a dreamy, princess-like feel. It’s clear from this collection that Allin prefers a sweetheart neckline, which is an ideal shape for a wedding dress (modest, flattering, feminine and perfect for any bust size) and where straps are added they come in the prettiest laces, or are seductively set just off the shoulders. Always and Forever also turns out some glorious accessories – an effortlessly elegant silk backless camisole in After Midnight and the prettiest floral shawl in Blossom. So, if you like your wedding dresses clean and classy and want to feel as pretty as a Disney princess, your search just may stop here.
