Julie Schwaninger

I've been amazed by the wide array of gorgeous Venetian gowns that I have seen online over the past few years, and Julie's divine cut-velvet gown is truly one of the nicest that I have seen so far. I like that she decided to go with the closed-front bodice, which showcases the brocade pattern so well, and those fabulous "candy-striped" sleeves give the outfit so much personality and a unique Venetian flare. If you haven't been following her diary for this project, be sure to check it out so you can see more of these stunning photographs and find all sorts of great information about the gown and accessories. If you would like to contact Julie, you can reach her at jewelbug12(at)hotmail(dot)com.
