Oscar de la Renta and Fairy Tale Princesses

When I came across this picture of an Oscar de la Renta wedding dress in the Spring Martha Stewart Weddings I swooned. It's a beautiful confection of white petal-like layers and dreamily floating fabric. Very fairy tale princess, I thought. In fact, it reminded me of a beautiful illustration from one of my favorite fairy tales as a child. Beverlie Manson's exqusite drawings brought the story of Sleeping Beauty to life - and this wedding dress has the spirit of her good fairy, who protects Sleeping Beauty from death by casting her into a deep sleep. Beautiful, no?
