    In no particular order: The Erdem and Jenny Kao just took my breath right away and the Rodarte?! A perfect dress to get married in, no? (Or at least dream about it if you are living in 'Singletown' like me) ;)

    If I had to choose, I would go for Rodarte. It's besides Burberry and Alexander McQueen my favourite designer label.
    The Juan Carlos Obando and Erdem gowns are really pretty, too.

    i darling. i would love it if you in some way could place the designer name in the photos. so it gets easier to navigate and find the designer.?
    my favourite is the pink dress with the roses and the last of the white gowns.
    i would so very much love to get dressed up in an real puffy gown..what an dream
