London Fashion Week is in full swing and I am lovin' Erdem's short and sweet white dresses from his SS/11 collection.

Retro Goodness: ModCloth's I Do Dress

This dress is oh so darling. The I Do Dress at ModCloth is a handmade piece of retro goodness made by Amai Unmei (in the U.S.). The petal placement on the skirt is unique, so each fab dress is a one of a kind creation. Did I mention that it was darling? Love it.

Love this. So not for City Hall. It's Little Tailleur and you can get it at Elizabeth Charles. Just darling.

Bridal Glamour: Dice Kayek

Turkish designer Dice Kayek has hit the mark. These dresses would make wonderful choices as short bridal gowns. I get a lot of inquiries about short wedding dresses. Some brides want to show off their beautiful legs and I say go ahead and do it. Any of one of these dresses would be sheer perfection. See the entire collection here.

A French Beauty: Paule Ka

This very girly dress is from the Paule Ka label. The label is the brainchild of Brazilian designer, Serge Cajfinger. I absolutely adore it. See his entire collection here.

Molto Bella: Le spose di Gio

When I was getting married, I saw this dress in a bridal magazine and decided that this was absolutely going to be my wedding dress. Well, that so did not work out. At that time, Le spose di Gio did not sell dresses in the U.S. Trust me, I emailed the company to find out what I had to do, just short of flying to Italy, to get this dress. It was highly unsuccessful. But I still love this dress and all of their dresses. Now, the fabulous Mark Ingram's Bridal Atelier in NYC carries these Italian works of art. Visit their web site to view this amazing collection of dresses. These are my favorites.

Short and Sweet: Stephanie Allin Bridal

Here is another great way to wear a modern vintage look. This gorgeous dress is from Stephanie Allin. I have always love the idea of short wedding dresses. Especially if you have great legs. Flaunt it! See here entire collection on her web site.
