Review comme il faut & Le Salon

olivia dress (indigo)

Comme il fautis owned by Moire Georgette who was so generous to allow me to pick out review copies. Now I could be wrong, but I think it use to be Bossa Nova. If you were a follower of Bossa Nova wear, Moire keeps that inventory alive at this new location with comme il faut and Le Salon. Now that’s just awesome. Its nice to see a designer being true to her roots and keeping the “old” line active as so many have enjoyed it

I chose two dresses and a skin so far. Le Salon specializes in unique hand-drawn skins. Each skin is beautifully crafted. Seeing the skins inperson is encouraged … my pics surely don’t capture her hard work! Dulce skin – mocha (cake) was exactly what I wanted. Its a soft creamy tone with hints of autum eyeshadow and a sheer lip. It gives the allure of glam but with that “girl next door” look.

For the clothing, I chose two dresses. First let’s chat about the Cafe Tortoni gown. Its a full length dress that is backless. The back is what makes this gown … or should I say the missing back. The staps are pulled together with a small oval prim that comes in silver or gold. Very tastefully done with the nearly open sides and full coverage square front. Gotta love elegance with a hint of sex appeal!

The second is the Olivia dress in indigo. The white flower detailing over a rich royal blue color … looking close there is even cloth marks giving that added dimension. Moire really goes over and beyond the basic shading. A ton of cutesy features at work - the white prim bow in the front and the toole underskirt that playfully peeks out upon movement. The dress is ideal for any garden party, wedding or shopping (as I wore it as I went off looking for accessories).
