What can you say about Monique Lhuillier other than her dresses are FABULOUS?  Gracing both red carpets and wedding aisles from coast to coast, she can be credited for the popularity of everything from ribbon sashes to skirts with pick-ups.  Her signature sexy, ultra-fitted bodices and voluminous skirts were back this season.

And while I do love Monique, I suppose no one can have ALL hits.   These two are misses in my book. I can appreciate the creativity though and the desire to show something different.  Perhaps the gown on the left is gorgeous and I’m just being distracted by the lace coat?  And the one on the right….well, the skirt is just not my thing (though the bodice is perfection).  Can’t win ‘em all Monique!
