Stone Fox is a lot more interesting than Lovely, and the quality was fine when I was there - no cheap silk in sight. and no tantrums. <br /><br />Another place to check out might be <a href="http://geminola.com/blogs/bridal" rel="nofollow">Geminola</a> - most of their stuff is not bridal but they do have a few gowns reconstructed from vintage veils/dresses/etc, and they do great custom work, which they could probably do even for someone not based in nyc.emmaclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434707541126696719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-27749705394058062652013-04-10T11:56:38.851-07:002013-04-10T11:56:38.851-07:00My only advice if she goes to Soho.

Beautiful things, great service, I am so happy I found them for my wedding. And I encourage people to check it out. <br /><br />But maybe the dresses are not for everyone. It is the antithesis of Lovely, for example, but in the best way possible. I hated Lovely. East Side Bride, GO TO STONE FOX BRIDE next time you are there. You will like it.

When i went, all the samples were in size 6 (too big); none of them had the interior corset/bra structure that the staff dude assured me would be in the finished product; and sweet dude is sweet but not the best at clamping in a way that accurately shows you what your size dress would look/feel like ... so I was just kind of standing there in front of a giant mirror, swimming in silk, trying to use my imagination but failing ... x5. <br /><br />it was really cute though when my friend and I went to Lovely later and the sweet saleswoman there was like "have you heard of this place Stone Fox Bride? Can you believe they have a picture on their website where they're wearing shirts that say 'fuck this wedding'? Isn't that awful?" it was so earnest and sweet. emmaclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434707541126696719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-25882140697107374212013-04-09T13:07:17.258-07:002013-04-09T13:07:17.258-07:00DAMMIT i keep wanting stone fox to be good.DAMMIT i keep wanting stone fox to be good.esbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215882729011442570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-79978860992076118462013-04-09T12:56:42.607-07:002013-04-09T12:56:42.607-07:00amen to my dear friend Caitlin Mociun for jewelry ...amen to my dear friend Caitlin <a href="http://ny.racked.com/archives/2013/04/08/caitlin_mociun.php" rel="nofollow">Mociun</a> for jewelry - her work is amazing, intricate, unique, and I love working with her for custom pieces. Re dresses, I agree that Stone Fox is underwhelming, though the lovely space is nice to hang out in if nothing else. There are also several wedding boutiques on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill that look a little froufy to me, does anyone know if they are good?: <a href="http://www.kimeradesign.com/" rel="nofollow">Kimera</a><br /> <a href="http://www.michellenewyorkbrides.com/" rel="nofollow">Michelle New York</a> <a href="http://vekabridal.com/" rel="nofollow">Veka</a>emmaclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434707541126696719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-30474480287747793072013-04-09T11:12:30.228-07:002013-04-09T11:12:30.228-07:00Erica Weiner, so many good vintage rings!<a href="http://ericaweiner.com/" rel="nofollow">Erica Weiner</a>, so many good vintage rings!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426772064456027179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-87640352192033739122013-04-09T10:04:39.806-07:002013-04-09T10:04:39.806-07:00Saja = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzSaja = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzesbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215882729011442570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-32771174677621126892013-04-09T09:59:15.697-07:002013-04-09T09:59:15.697-07:00Yes to Clay Pot.
