When it comes to wedding sleepwear, nothing is quite as elegant as pure silk nightgowns and matching robe sets. Linda Hartman has been satisfying brides with classic silk designs since 1997. Embellished with a touch of lace, these pieces are simple, timeless statements at excellent prices. Wrapped together with Linda’s best-selling Bedroom Eyes eye-mask, no wonder these are a bridal shower favorite.
There’s nothing like a little pomp and circumstance when executed with elegance and grace. Beautiful details transfer the lavish wedding to a sophisticated affair. Empreinte’s Pompadour collection is a perfect reflection of bridal luxury, replete with embroidery, guipure and tulle. Perfectly detailed for a larger cup (C_G, 30-46) bride, this is lingerie that fits the occasion before, during and after the big day.
