Bridesmaid dress of the year! - Dashwood "Pippa" - New release


First I would like to introduce myself, I am Kalixta Ravenshaw and I have recently been appointed as the new Assistant Director for the House of Dashwood,  I am enthusiastic to be taking on this challenge working for such a vibrant and exciting fashion house!  Each week I will be letting you know about the latest additions and timeless classics to the Dashwood collection.  This week the dress in the limelight is the beautiful dress worn by the worlds favourite Royal Maid of honour, Pippa Middleton.  Dubbed "Her Royal Hotness" this dress is the ultimate of classic, sleek and simple elegance.

While staying as true to the original as possible,   the dress has the beautifully drawn buttons which gently run along the spine, down the back of the bodice dipping into the skirt. The Slim tailored  look of the original Barton dress is captured complete with cowl neckline, peek-a-boo lace, and finally, delicate cap sleeves. Our depiction of the dress comes with transparent prim lace to add to your shoulders enabling the textured cap sleeve a little extra movement! Our design also has the benefit of three skirt options, giving you the choice of a simple formal dress skirt, a fish tail style skirt or a flex prim skirt.  Just choose the style for for you!  Only one skirt should be worn at any one time, otherwise there will be a mess of floaty prims, and it wont be pretty! 

We are offering the dress in a number of colours,  white as worn traditionally by "Royal Maids of Honour" and also in delicate shades of pink or sage, sultry midnight, black onyx or beautiful berry.  This really is the "it" dress of bridesmaid dresses.

Please come and visit us in world and see this wonderful dress for yourself.

Gone Wild - Dashwood "Alaina" - NEW Release



I am very excited to release this latest dress in my collection. This dress is the answer to how to dress formal in the summer. It is exciting and has sooo much going on!... There is NOTHING boring about the new "Alaina" dress now available at Dashwood. The bodice of the dress is encrusted with sculpty jewels, as well as a rouched mid section which highlights the taffeta fabric texture. Working down the dress we see an explosion of prim skirt.... evoking a pickup bubble skirt this little mini can be worn without the back train if you desire. But why go sans train when that is the best part saved 'til last.... YES ... it's not your eyes deceiving you -- that is leopard print and zebra print peeking through. The back of the dress swishes and sways all around and the prints will just flurry around you... I know you will LOVE this dress... Go Ahead DARE to walk on the wild side! As of now this gown is available in Burgundy/leopard, Turq/zebra and bronze/leopard.

This dress will soon be released in Purple/Leopard Black/Zebra and Hot Pink/ Pink Leopard. No other colors will be available after that.
