Bridal Salon Update...

1960's Silk Tulle and Alencon Lace Empire Wedding Gown, with Original tags. 

I love the "Pride and Prejudice" feel of the dress, it looks as if it was created in the Regency period.
Especially with the Watteau train....

It looks like something Elizabeth Bennet might wear to marry Mr. Darcy...

Exquisite hand beadwork throughout the lace, trimmed in peu de soie.

Original price tag in 1967, 495. 

1960's Cahill Lace Wedding gown with off the shoulder cap-sleeves and fitted waistline and body.

Sexy slit up the back...

An Xtabay Exclusive made in Portland from a 1962 McCalls
pattern, 100% silk taffeta with ballet skirt. Waist 30".

I love the squared off neckline and the little bow in the back.

Something Jackie Kennedy would have worn, 1960's Oleg Cassini Silk Matelasse evening gown.

I love the cut of this gown and the simplicity of the lines, elegant to the nth degree!
Waist 26".

1960's Priscilla of Boston Silk Empire waist gown, with alencon lace coat...

Exquisite on, the lace in the jacket is incredible.

Erin diligently working on a brides gown, adding a finger loop...

The little 1950's  Ballerina dress by Lorie Deb, pleated tulle with lace panels....

I love the neckline and cap sleeves!

What every bride needs to stay warm, marabou! 

Divine 1950's ivory mink wrap, absolutely stunning. 

1950's hand beaded hat, goes perfectly with the wrap.

Spring Fever...

The last couple days here in rain soaked Portland have been beautiful.  All the flowers are in bloom, allergies are in full effect and I'm experiencing a serious case of spring fever!

 This was the first Easter in years that didn't pour down rain. It was so lovely to be outside with all the newest family members while they searched for plastic eggs filled with jelly beans.

That's my niece Maggie, she's only 10 months old and is already an expert egg hunter....

The shop is filled with floral print garden party dresses just waiting to be worn outside. Come by and try them on or email me at xtabayliz@gmail.com for sizes and prices.
