From our last Pnina Tornai post we dramatically change gears to Amsale's latest Spring 2014 collection. Simple, elegant, and understated is the idea here. I particularly love the use of silk magnolia, which is a fabric similar to dupioni with a lovely natural texture, and the use of organza for a bit of contrast. The simple lines of the gowns really let the fabric sing.<br />

In all the years of this blog its almost unbelievable that I haven't once featured Pnina Tornai gowns!</div>
While not exactly a household name, if you're a fan of the TLC's hit show "Say Yes To The Dress" you know that this designer definitely has a dedicated following.<br />
Pnina Tornai is the Israeli designer behind the namesake label that has achieved almost cult-like status. She's made a name for herself by selling almost exclusively to the New York City boutique featured on the show, Kleinfeld's, and of course by her hit designs.<br />
"Pninas" have a very distinctive, unmistakable look and unique style to them, as do the brides that wear them. Gowns are heavily ornate and run the gamut of silhouettes from sheaths and mermaids, to A-lines and full ball gowns, incorporating lace, beading, embroidery, crystal work, as well as bold design elements like body conscious necklines, hoop skirts, eyelet corsets, sheer lace paneling, and exposed boning and corsetry.<br />
<br />
This traditional style ball gown features a lace soft-sweetheart bodice with a full layered tulle skirt, accented with cascading lace.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi WhimsyBride readers! I know the end of March is pretty late for the first 2014 post but better late than never. Since I am expecting my very own whimsy baby this year (hence the reason for the blog absence!) I thought it appropriate to feature something that is a bit rare in the fancy gown world: maternity style special occasion dresses!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's post features some of my favorite looks from Tiffany Rose, a UK based company that specializes in maternity gowns and fancy dresses. In fact, maternity is the <i>only</i> style they sell and its a great resource for any pregnant woman that wants or needs a fancy pretty dress, or even a wedding gown, during their very special time. Using forgiving silhouettes and fancy fabrics with stretch Tiffany Rose designs not only look beautiful, they no doubt also feel accommodating and comfortable. They must be if everyone from everyday women, red carpet celebrities, and even Eurpoean royalty is a fan of their dresses and gowns!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are a few of my personal faves.</div>

I've currently been too sick and with no energy to do a proper "best of" 2013 but I don't want the end of the year to escape me just yet. So for those of you with some time on your hands feel free to peruse <a href="http://whimsybride.blogspot.com/search/label/2013%20collections" target="_blank">my 2013 reviews</a>.<br />
Which gowns, collections, designs, and trends did you love? Hate?<br />
Personally I loved the lean towards more color, however subtle. I feel 2013 saw more blush than ever before. Also a lot of throw back to vintage including more options for sleeves and convertibles.<br />
What or who am I looking forward to most in 2014? I have no idea, bring it on!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
A bevy of beautiful bustles, for your viewing pleasure. Forgive the alliteration, I couldn't help myself!<br />
First a little more info on bustles, what they are, their purpose, etc.<br />
A bustle is basically the way the volume of the skirt is supported in the back, specifically being draped in a way that the skirt does not lose shape, drape, or volume while standing, sitting or dancing. The bustle actually refers to the way the skirt is pinned from underneath.<br />
Bustles used to be the norm in dressing. Nowadays they are reserved almost exclusively for wedding gowns. As you can imagine, this is very important in wedding gowns because most of them are voluminous and have trains. Some gowns even incorporate a bustled design with added train that should be bustled additionally as well.<br />
Almost every weddings gown and essentially ALL wedding gowns with trains need to be bustled. A train looks lovely floating up and down the aisle since those are straight trajectories that don't demand much movement. However once the parts of the wedding that require minimal movement are over, a dragging train becomes an unsightly and annoying hassle, and even a hazard for you, your guests, and your groom.<br />
The vast majority of trains are actually designed to be bustled nicely and quickly. No matter what you read or what you are told, <b>no train is designed to simply be draped over your arm or looped around your wrist by an attached cord</b>. The attached cord on most trains, always plain and discreetly sewn on the outside visible part of the train, is actually only there to facilitate hanging the dress on a hanger in such a way that the train does not hang down and get dirty or wrinkled.<br />
A bride should never attempt to "save money" by skipping the bustle alteration.<br />
I will hop off my bustle soap box now and we can get on to our visual examples of bustled skirts!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
……………</div>
<br />
This Eden gown started it all, with its bubbly tiered bustle. I can't tell if the last tier has a bubble hem at the back or if it is just the photo styling, but if it <i>is</i> a bubble hem I have to say brava for fully committing to the bubble tier theme. To actually bustle in the train I imagine it would simply be tucked in to the last tier to the proper length.<br />

A brief intro to crumb-catchers: They are voluminous elements found at the bust of a bodice. They can be pleated, ruffled, or bigger and more structural origami elements. The purpose of this style element is to add dimension and shape to the bust. It is a detail that works very much to the benefit of the less endowed since it helps to carve out a curvier silhouette, but fuller figures must tread very carefully to avoid a top heavy look.<br />

Now that the description is out of the way, let's move on to some solid examples.<br />

The notched collar is a bit of a peculiar entry in our <a href="http://whimsybride.blogspot.com/p/the-bridal-dictionary.html" target="_blank">bridal dictionary</a>. It ends up actually being a mix of two elements as opposed to being strictly one or the other. It basically features a rounded neckline with a "notch" or a v-shaped slit cut into it. This offers a bit more interest than a plain rounded neckline at the same time that it offers a bit more coverage than a regular v-neckline while at the same time retaining all of its flattering and elongating elements. It usually exposes a bit of collarbone so the rest of the neckline should be kept clean and uncluttered of jewelry.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The best example I've found lately is this Steven Birnbaum lace A-line gown<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It features all-over concentric scalloped lace, embellished at the edges. A detail to note is how shape of the scallops is actually mimicked in the sweetheart neckline.

Here are a few of my favorite gowns done in a blush twist.<br />

This Lazaro gown started it all, and mainly because I couldn't decide if that skirt was a peplum (as the description states) or a pick-up. So I decided to just stick it in a blush color category.<br />

Here is a cute and unique convertible gown: this Martina Lianna design allows for you go to with or without sleeves! This is great for brides who have to adhere to a dress code for religious ceremonies but also want less formal fussiness for partying down at the reception. Convertible gowns like this one allow for the best of both worlds.</div>

I found these great examples of inverted basque waistlines.</div>

What is an inverted basque waistline you ask? To learn about them please visit my bridal glossary post on this design element <a href="http://whimsybride.blogspot.com/2012/01/bridal-glossary-inverted-basque.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Readers of WhimsyBride have perhaps noted that has become an increasingly rare waist design in wedding gowns. It is not a personal favorite, it is a bit of a challenge to style flatteringly, and the design can look dated and out of fashion.</div>

A full post dedicated to the best in scooped necklines. (I'm resisting the urge to skat "scoop, scoop-de-doop, scoop-de-doopty-doop-de-doop..." You know what I mean.)<br />
<br />
First, what is a scoop neckline?<br />
It is a rounded neckline and swoops down below the collar bone. It can come in many variations but is symmetrical, round, and smooth like a half circle. <br />
A "U neckline" - yes it does exist - is a variation of a scoop but with straighter, longer sides just like a capital letter U (please see the Amsale gown below).<br />
As you can see by the examples shown below there is also many variations in the "depth" of the scoop (i.e. how low cut the neckline is.) A by-product of the design is that in order for there to be a "scoop" there always has to be some sort of built-in shoulder coverage, either sleeves or sleeveless styles.<br />
Scoop necklines are considered classic, traditional, and timeless since they have been around forever and as you can tell below come in varying degrees of embellishment. Because of their simplicity it is a very go-to design for more casual styles, though it can definitely be done up formally as well.<br />
<br />
This Amsale gown is so wonderfully simple, and thank goodness because it allows the scoop neckline to really take center stage. This gown basically has it all: it is both traditionally bridal and delightfully minimalist, while at the same time remaining so classic and timeless. I'll particularly applaud the sleek, simple pony, which looks really great with that scooped back.<br />
I usually call gowns with v-neck at the front and the back bodice "double v's" so I will similarly refer to this style as a "double scoop". (For reference though I would consider the back neckline of this Amsale gown to be a good example of a U neckline.)<br />

I may or may not have picked every gown from this collection... I really couldn't help myself though. They are all so stunningly simple, letting the sumptuous fabric be the star rather than any embellished ornamentation. They are each so different but that is their common "theme".<br />

The garden-like details of this Martina Lianna gown are too lovely yet they are quite subtle and easy to overlook.<br />
<div>
The tulle gown has panels of cascading all-over floral lace applique. But I particularly enjoy the bands placed in diagonals, creating a diamond or almost "lattice" pattern. It reminds me of a lattice garden arbor entwined with lovely floral vine.</div>
<div>
What a magnificent gown!<br />

I love a good classic bridal look with a twist. This satin and tulle Cymbeline gown is a great example. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To start with we have a lovely princess seamed satin bodice with dropped waist. The neckline is a classic strapless sweetheart and the back is finished in a lovely line of satin covered buttons. The bodice tops off a tulle tiered, multi-layered full ball skirt. For kicks, a trio of giant flowers are placed rather asymmetrically on the skirt adding just enough of a modern (funky) touch.</div>

The bateau is a neckline that runs straight along the shoulder line, skimming the collar bone and usually reaching from shoulder point to shoulder point. The width can vary but usually it is long and wide with tapered ends, almost slit-like.<br />
If you think the word "<i style="font-weight: bold;">bateau</i>" kind of sounds like boat then you are very much on the right track since it does actually mean boat in French. And rightfully so, the influence of this neckline is nautical in origin, taking its style cues from classic striped French sailor shirts. The shape of some bateau necklines can be boat shaped, being high but wide both from the front and back, however some designs can have a lower swooped back to compensate for the high front.<br />
However this style is very much feminine as well since it calls attention to lovely shoulder lines, neck, and face. Since it visually widens out upper proportions, it is ideal for pear shapes or anyone with a smaller, narrower torso and bust. But fuller top figures or those with wider, athletic shoulder should be wary since this neckline can make you look too wide, bulky, and top heavy.<br />
Bateau necklines are also referred to as "boat necks" or "Sabrina" necklines.<br />

How utterly stunning is this Haley Paige gown? While that back view is fantastic as is, I think this is one rare instance in which the optional sheer bolero really elevates the gown. Perhaps because it is used as an accent rather than a cover-up. And truth be told it is so sheer and the gown so bare that it can hardly be called a bolero.<div>
Simply stunning all the same. Clearly the option adds interest in the neckline of a gown that while very beautiful is missing some spice.<br /><div>

A lone crumb catcher ruffle along the bust gives neckline interest while the bodice has a wrapped effect that is anchored by an asymmetrically placed embellished focal point. There is something about this gown that screams "Amsale" to me.</div>

This Blue by Enzoani gown has a soft sweetheart strapless neckline with just a hint of the sheer embellished panel peeking over the top. (I love the concentric pattern of the embellishment.) The neckline features a high empire detail with a rouched bodice to the natural waist, finished in a sweet asymmetric embellishment which anchors the drape of the skirt.</div>

If this taffeta Alfred Angelo gown had existed when I got married, it might very well have been one of my top contenders. It has everything you could ask for: a flattering v-neckline, full rouched modified mermaid silhouette, sleeveless in style, and finished with a corseted back. And that's it! Nothing extra required because this gown is strong enough to stand on its own with no embellishment.</div>

Another great and minimalist gown, this Amsale is so clean it hurts. The amazing double scoop neckline is silky smooth, as is the gentle A-line skirt silhouette with a waist band that works amazingly well at cinching. It really doesn't need anything else.</div>

I am loving these bohemian veils paired with soft waves from the 2014 pre-collection of Pronovias Fashion. It reminds me of the <a href="http://whimsybride.blogspot.com/2013/05/whimsybride-favorites-reem-acra-bridal.html" target="_blank">Reem Acra 2014 post</a> I just did. If that means this bohemian veil thing is the trend for 2014 I'm a fan!</div>

The "Larrue" gown veil features a lace cap and tulle train. The medallion lace trim gives this veil a bit of a mantilla feel. I'll admit that this lace cap doesn't look too flattering, it seems to cause a strange case of "alien head"!</div>

The "Lary" gown veil is the lightest of the bunch, featuring a low set thin floral lace headband with a long tulle veil with thin floral lace trim. This would be my next favorite if I could be assured the lace wouldn't leave marks on the forehead!<br />

I also found these lovely lace hair ornaments in the Pronovias accessories. While the look here is very clean and structured, the lace adds just a touch of unstructured wild whimsy for contrast and interest.</div>
