The red and purple gowns come from an amazing line that can be made in a custom way.
“At Lady Black Tie, we want you to wear a unique gown for your special occasion; one that suits your sense of style and personality. We carry one particular collection in our store in which the gowns can be made to your specifications. We have 15 varying cuts & sample styles in store, in sizes ranging from XS-XL. The price on these gowns range from $350-$410.
The Three Things You Can Customize From This Collection:
-The Color
Choose from a color swatch of over 80 colors. We carry 25 of the most popular colors in store on our varying styles, ready for you to try on and see how they work for your complexion.
-Leg Slit
Any gown from this line can be ordered with or without a leg slit.
-Train
There are two options you can choose for your train, one with a horsehair hem finish and one without.
This line is made in the USA, so the turn-around time for your special order is shorter than typical industry standard. As a policy, Lady Black Tie only accepts special orders for these gowns with a customer wear date more than 30 days away.”
****And speaking of purple dresses, this color is near and dear to my heart since I have been in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s association of Mass and Nh.
On May 8, the Alzheimer’s Association hosts its seventh annual Hope on the Harbor dinner at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston. A gown from Lady Black Tie would be perfect for this event. The Hope on the Harbor dinner:
- recognizes business and community champions for their extraordinary personal contributions to the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association
- assembles corporations, community leaders and philanthropists to support the Alzheimer’s Associations vision of a world without Alzheimer’s.
- In past years, Hope on the Harbor has raised over $6 million dollars to help the Alzheimer’s Association continue to provide care and support to individuals living with Alzheimer’s and their families at no cost.
- Almost 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, by 2050 this number is projected to more than double. With your support of Hope on the Harbor, the Alzheimer’s Association can continue its work to increase awareness, advocacy, research and support services at a pace that is equal to the growth of the disease.
Alzheimer’s awareness is near and dear to my heart and soul. Growing up…my grandfather was like my third parent….He was supportive, kind, fun, hard working, and just such a gentle man. He was selfless and always took care of everyone else before he worried about himself. I watched him suffer from this disease and it was heart wrenching. You actually grieve the person while they are physically alive.
I would greatly appreciate it if all my friends, family and readers would help support my cause in the next coming months….more info. to come on how you can donate…..and how you can join in my “Pilates and Prosecco” event on Friday May 17 at Studio Poise!!!!
