I bookmarked Portland designer, Elizabeth Dye’s site a while back when I discovered The English Department shop on Etsy. And I recognized her work immediately when Ann from The City Sage posted pictures of her “Pride and Prejudice wedding” photo shoot this week.



By far one of my absolute favorite fashion eras…and those design elements just may be what originally drew me to The English Department bolero jackets and gowns.
How Austen is this?

But it was her take on the bolero that really grabbed me. I’m a sucker for a well pleated ruffle…


It certainly can be a small lovely world here online…

So pretty! What a genteel way to dress. Don't think I'd like ironing all those ruffles though.
Pretty much in love with that last bolero! Swoon!
I'm secretly obsessed with Elizabeth Dye's work! I subscribe to her Etsy store even though there's no wedding in sight :)
