Summer & Autumn Gowns 2002.

Including the Elizabeth Smith 'Shakespear' Collection.

The catwalk photographs were taken at our Autumn show hosted by Isle of Wight Pearl. All other photographs were taken in and around our Studio and the surrounding gardens.

Above: A two piece bodice and skirt by Elizabeth Smith called 'Holly'. The strapless, boned and piped bodice is made of printed dupion and is laced at the back with gold cord to highlight the gold detail on the bodice. The 'A' line skirt is made of satin and organza. It features an integral train and matching stole. The tiara worn by Paula is our most popular 'Sylvina' style in pearl and crystal.

Above: 'Viola' a modern, fully circular skirt in silk crepe satin by Elizabeth Smith, and a backless, boat necked bodice featuring 'swimmer straps' by Augusta Jones. Both pieces are from the Elizabeth Smith 'Shakespear' collection and are in ivory .The bodice features iridescent, scattered bugle beading to the neckline. An ideal gown for a civil ceremony or perhaps a romantic wedding trip abroad.

Above: Claire models 'Portia' a stunningly simple 'champagne' flute skirt with a box pleat at the front centre, and a strapless, boned bodice with cuff detail called 'Annerly'. The small bolero is by Veromia and adds a little sparkle to an elegant and understated gown. The long veil is by Richard designs and beautifully compliments this three piece.

Paula: wears 'Titania'. Part of our Shakespear collection. A graphically draped silk chiffon and English damask strapless bodice in ivory. The georgette skirt is by Augusta Jones and features a simple puddle train. Named after the Fairy Queen, this gown is truly magical.

Above: Claire wears one of our new Shakespear collection gowns; 'Opheila'. This is an unusual two piece gown in silk crepe. The Irish lace sleeves are detachable and the lacing tips are decorated with tiny crystals. The fishtail skirt is also of crepe in natural. The bodice is laced at the back, and the romantic veil is by Richard designs.

Above: Michelle wears a wildly romantic strapless, 'V' neck at back and front, heavily beaded bodice called 'Evelyn' and a full' A' line organza skirt, both in ivory by Augusta Jones. The beading on the bodice features scrolls and flowers in silver, ivory and pearl. This gown has been a real hit with those Brides who are searching for that fairytale princess look without going too over the top! The silver half crown is by Elizabeth Smith and the long veil is from a selection by Richard designs.
