I saw the barefoot bride's dress!!!

It is really, really cool.

It is basically a long tuxedo shirt!! She had it made by the tailor who is across the street from her workplace in Montreal. Knee length, a little longer in the back. A shift. Cotton, white on white with sateen-stripes, French cuffs, and pearl links. C'est tout!

It's nicer than the pictured one (I think). Not as exaggerated a hem, the buttons are all pearl, the collar is a wing tip. But you get the idea.

Picture her -- very tall (about 5'11), very, very slender. Rectangular body type with maybe teeny apple tendencies. She has dark brown eyes and wiry, curly dark brown hair which she typically wears pulled back. Pretty features.


Truly - I think she is going to freeze in this garment (today it was -14C here) but I have to admit it is really, really cool and will suit her down to the ground.

Very Urban Prince, in fact!

So. I am rethinking my what-to-wear based on this. My daughter is going to wear her "suit." And I am wondering if I could do the same: slouchy black trousers, tuxedo shirt, and blue Zara jacquard jacket. With some kind of sparkle in the form of earrings or whatnot. Maybe a cocktail type ring.
