What's your dream haute couture piece? If you could only have one...
My mother buys haute couture, as did her mother when she was younger. Despite not being one to buy every season, over the years she's certainly amassed quite a few pieces - I remember when I was younger there were things I could -not- touch with sticky hands... and then there were things I was not allowed within a ten mile radius with the aforementioned hands
Well the point of this, is that my 20th birthday is coming up in just over 4 months or so, and my mother broached the topic of making an appointment with one of the design houses to decide upon a piece (probably a gown/formal dress) and begin the fittings with a vendeuse . Discounting my short hyperventilating attack, I handled it with mature, controlled glee haha.
Anyways, there's so many delicious confections that my mind cannot think straight (and my mother's taste is a little different considering the age gap), so I thought I'd start a thread where you can pick your dream haute couture piece... and possibly give me some advice I'd love to have some ideas before I go!
(Remember couture can be adapted, lined etc - so feel free to add any alterations you would make for it to truly be your 'ideal' piece!)
