Luly Yang Couture Launches Two New Dress Lines

It’s been a banner 10 years for Luly Yang Couture, Seattle’s premier bridal gown couturier. This year, in addition to debuting a shoe line and an ocean-inspired ready-to-wear collection with much aplomb, the designer also launched two new bridal gown lines, Luly Blue and Luly Yang Diamond, which bridge the gap between ready-to-wear and couture. Inspired by the palatial estate, fountains and gardens at Versailles, the Blue collection includes simple, elegant silhouettes set in organza and tulle. Prices hover in the affordable $1,500 to $2,700 range, and gowns are available in sizes 2 to 18 from a template designed by Yang. Also inspired by Versailles, the 2011 Diamond confections exude a soft femininity with oversize metallic taffeta floral appliqués, voluminous skirts set in layers and layers of chiffon and hand-stitched freshwater pearl details. Diamond gowns range from $3,000 to $7,500, with add-on design options available to help brides tailor their dream gown to their real-life budget. Additional accoutrements include custom design changes (adding straps or editing a neckline) as well as split sizes to fit top and bottom; brides who want the custom couture fit for a Diamond design can do so for an extra $1,000. Yang will continue to craft couture gowns, but the new lines cut down on wait time (dresses can be ready in as little as three months), while still allowing the designer to personally touch each design. “I want to be involved in the romance of each dress we make,” Yang says. Next up: She’ll take inspiration from the intricate, pristine cuts of diamonds for her 2012 Blue and Diamond collections, which will be available to order by mid-October.
