When my sister in law was married in Paris a few years ago, albeit a very intimate party, there was something somewhat “Je ne sais quoi” about the whole affair. It’s that French chic that permeates most everything one sees in this elegant city. No lingerie design house possesses this style more then the venerable Cadolle. Every detail; stitch, ribbon, fagoting, embroidery, fabric, boning and lace reminds me who … Read More
I was taking a walk in my neighborhood last week in the late afternoon when I was surprised by a wedding party departing for the church. At first, I was a bit taken aback.

Recently introduced to the incredible spirit of Dita’s new intimates collection (more about that later), I am positive that wedding joy was very much part of her vision with the winter white version seen here, her … Read More

I was thinking about Paris the other night; how many weddings and honeymoons happen in this city of dreams. I kept searching for images to tell the story and then, I realized that nothing says “J’Accept” like French Bridal Lingerie. In the end, these beautiful designs turn into keepsakes in a brides memoirs. Old or New they still say “I Do”
