Style notes and inspiration: “My inspiration for our dresses was vintage glam with a twist of the ‘Arabian Nights’ theme. I love bold prints and colours, so I went with prints for our skirts and solid for the tops, and did billowing sleeves, for a bold statement,” shared principal Lisa McIntosh. The execution time for both dresses was two days.
