Designing and Constructing Haute Couture Dresses

You can get an idea of just how much work has gone into making the dress. The closer you look the more of an idea you get of the hours that must have gone into these creations of couture.

Silk Bridal Gown







1950S PIERRE BALMAIN Black & White Haute Couture Silk Lace 
Cocktail Dress Jacke



The interior this evening gown from the 1950s is as stiff and structured as any of the pieces from the 19th century. The drapery of the bodice has been stitched onto a support that is essentially  a corset

Sheikha Mozah Fashion


 Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al – Missned: is a princess. Sheikha Mozah’s wedding to Emiro Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani as the second of his three wives, and now a mother of the heir to the throne, makes her Queen of Qatar.

But she is also Queen of Qatar fashion. Class of 1959, Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned – that’s her full name – loves fashion : Valentino, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Chanel, the haute couture designer Stephane Rolland are only some of the houses she prefers. She is often seen wearing fashion worn on catwalks which personally it looks better on her than on the models.
















THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
