Recently, I created a custom #5810 ivory alencon lace wedding bolero for a bride in Colorado. The topper’s neckline was made to show off the lace’s beautiful scallop edge.

This gown was inspired by the Ukrainian gowns my babcha made for her grandsons. My sister, Katie, wore her new Burdastyle wool cashmere...
