On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, inspired by the new trend in untraditional wedding dresses worn by rock stars on their big day, the designers were told to wow the judges with their own version of an unconventional wedding dress.
The wedding dress I designed a few seasons ago remains my favorite, because if you’ve followed this blog at all, you know the only thing I love more than 1960s inspired looks is what I call the “tattered princess.” There’s always room to update that concept. I’ve had a shimmery plaid fabric I’ve been wanting to use and thought it would make a great unconventional bodice. I invited Noelle to the workroom and here’s the bridal look I created for her.
A closer look at the bodice. I love the way the netting of the skirt shimmers around Mattel’s flirty pink sandals.
Here comes the bride!
It’s a great day for a silver wedding. See you next time on the runway!

I like the subtlety of the plaid!!
Thanks, Gary! I love that plaid and was happy for a reason to use it.
Good textures!
Thank you!
You’ve really captured the tattered princess look.
So, what did you wear on your wedding day..?
Two wedding days, two very different looks!
