Women have always served as inspiration. Now some of the most famous have inspired a line of wedding gowns. Among them is Virginia Woolf.
The Virginia Woolf gown as it appears on a bridal website
You will find the Virginia gown, along with long fancy white dresses inspired by such literary favorites as Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson at this link on the Carine’s Bridal website.
And in an interview with Rebecca, bridal designer for Carolina Herrera, you’ll learn why the Virginia gown is the designer’s favorite in the spring 2011 collection.
A special thanks to Kristin Czarnecki of Georgetown College for sending both links to the VW Listserv.

[…] Here comes the Virginia gown […]
Extra ordinary gowns! Especially the”Elisabeth Vigee-le Brun”. The designer has combined both classic and modern trends in all the gowns. I am just wondering which one I should get for my wedding
I have to agree with you. The Berenice Abbott gown looks more like Woolf after 1920. The Woolf gown envisioned by the designer looks like something Woolf would wear in the early 1900s — or have borrowed from her mother.
I clicked through from your comment on my blog (turnabout is fair play), and enjoyed the bridal gowns. But don’t you think that the Berenice Abbott gown is the only one that looks like something Woolf herself would have worn? Inspiration for the designer doesn’t have to mean guiding the design into paths that the inspiring figure would have chosen, obviously, but…the Virginia Woolf gown doesn’t say “Virginia Woolf” to me at all!
