When Bernadette walked into my atelier I clearly remember her beautiful smile and soft curly brown hair. As we began sketching it was easy to feel her lovely energy, and I noticed her love of hearts and pearls.
We decided on a fitted, all-over lace dress with a swooping train to show off her curves, with see-through lace sleeves for a sexy yet modest feel. We made a pearl-beaded belt with a heart at the front, and matched it with red suede heels covered in red hearts.
Styling the whole look is something very special to me. We finished with a pearl wrist cuff attached to a ring and a dainty hair clip to frame her smile and soft curls.
