Last week I had the pleasure of enjoying tea with Joanna August, a super talented designer out of California who does gorgeous bridesmaids and wedding dresses.  Her objective is simple: she’ll only make dresses that she herself would wear, and that can absolutely be worn again.  Its more about making dresses that can be used FOR weddings, rather than bridesmaids dresses that can be worn OUTSIDE of weddings.  Pretty clever if you ask me.
