Jenny Packham is using the image of Aspen to spearhead her worldwide brand advertising. Hence, daily, I get calls from brides-to-be asking if there are any shots of the back view, side view, price, colour options and wearability. So for all you chic geeks and fact fans here are pictures from our October fashion show at Fetcham Park. Images by Eddie Judd, hair by This Morning’s Leo Bancroft, head piece by DC Bouquets, flowers by Wild About and styling by Tigerlily.
Practical and factual considerations when image obsessing about Aspen.
If you are over a C cup and need to wear a bra it might be worth finding a new object of lust. As the dress is virtually backless and frontless one needs reasonably perky, self-supporting boobs. Cups can be added internally to the dress to give a little boost and Jenny Packham are providing a sliver of extra lining to make the a tad more modest.
The dress has a very definite natural waist seam and with a panelled chiffon skirt cut to curve round the bottom. If you are very long or short waisted the bottom will not sit correctly and it is not possible to alter this either prior to production or as a post production alteration.
The dress is available in ivory or platinum, the delivery time is 12 weeks and the Suggested Retail Price is £2875.
Still not fainted? Then if you are a size 8 – 12, between about 5’6″ and 5’9″ with a reasonable budget – the Aspen is staggeringly gorgeous.
Does this make me a body fascist? I would hope that anyone that has had a dress appointment with me or has read any blog posts knows that I believe, as fervently as any natural feminist, that beauty is not defined by size. However, in wedding dresses, the sight of gigantic cleavage, unsupported and with a breast likely to make a ‘costume-malfunction’ unscheduled appearance is just a You Tube hit waiting to happen.
