Breaking All The Rules!

For those of you who haven't been in our neck of the woods lately, here is a peak at our latest Frocks window display!

The window:Featuring two of our top designers, Lynn Lugo and Jenny Yoo, the dresses from left to right are:


1) Jenny Yoo - Becca Dress in Casper Blue eastern silk shantung


2) Lynn Lugo - Brooke Dress in Gunmetal silk charmeuse


3) Jenny Yoo - Chloe Bridal Gown in off-white silk shantung


4) Jenny Yoo - Pheobe Dress in Casper Blue eastern silk shantung


5) Puchibi - Jackie Dress (flower girl) in off-white silk shantung


6) Lynn Lugo - Giselle Dress in Gunmetal silk charmeuse


This window is breaking all the rules... but it still works! We usually recommend staying with the same fabric when you are putting your girls in different colours (this is always safest) and often recommend staying with the same colour when going with different styles, but the combination still works because the fabrics are both flowy in nature, and all but one neckline are very similar (three halters). The odd dress out (in this case the strapless) is often used to showcase the maid of honour (if she doesn't mind standing out a little from the rest of the girls! Lastly, the colours work together as the Gunmetal grey balances out the strong Casper Blue (not sure of the name, there's no fading into the night in this statement colour!)


Brides, don't try this at home, come to Frocks for some expert advice so we can help you pull off this look... that is, if you don't mind your girls turning as many heads as you!


If you would like to chime in on the current Frocks window (or even past windows) just comment on this post!


Until the next window...Frocks girls

  1. As always, I love the chance to "peek" in the Frocks window even from around the world! Makes me feel like I'm back on W Broadway, while in wintery, downtown Melbourne.

    Great job!

  2. What a beautiful and unexpected color combo. Such a fresh twist on the now ubiquitous turquoise-and-brown palette. Great job, ladies!

  3. I agree with all the posters above: the gunmetal gray and the blue works so well. Lovely, I'll have to stop by and take a look!
