THE COTTON WEDDING DRESS

Cotton is the ultimate in laid-back casual so we rarely think of it as bridal wear. Think again. Particularly about organdy and Swiss cotton. Two of the finest fabrics in the world are not just for kids' dresses anymore. Primo cottons like these have always been a chic option for summer brides and garden weddings. One of the most stylish gowns I ever designed was a dotted Swiss ball gown silhouette. Clued-up and confident, my bride amped her ‘look good’ factor by adding a dimity sash.  Not every bride wants the traditionality of silk on her wedding day so some designers are getting the message, offering at least one cotton option in their spring/summer collection. Bravo! Finally! Eyelet -light to medium-weight cotton with cutout patterns of embroidery along the border. Pictured above, it is a classic summertime favorite for informal brides. Makes up into pretty long or short hourglasses, sundresses, chemises, shifts, shells, and A-lines. Perfect in colors for attendants. Dotted Swi
