Illuminated Wedding Dress



And shawl. Both made from Luminex, a fiber-optic fabric imported from Italy.

Alison Lewis describes the design process (and her collaboration with the bride) on Switch.

Via Coquette

p.s. You might also like this LED wedding dress that can be converted to a lamp.

  1. are you kidding me? i am simultaneously torn between awe and disbelief. pretty darn cool.

    p.s. do you happen to know where your girl from practical schmactical has gone? i wanted to credit her with a terrarium purchase i just made and she is nowhere to be found!

  4. Hey biotches, stop talking about me! Jk jk "practical schmactical" aka Holli here! Sorry- I went apeshit & dumped the blog, crazy shit has gone down like moving to an abandoned brick fortress in a national park in the dry tortugas while bf restores the brick walls for the next 5 months(fort jefferson- google image it and drool)-only getting internet when I can steal it from the rangers

    so i thought itd be fair to remove practical schmactical instead of let it go stale. still commenting in full force though. xo

    p.s. this morning i speared a goliath grouper that weighs EXACTLY the same as me. had to tell someone!

  5. i love these dresses. I'm a little jealous and want one, but I already got married, so maybe just for a party.

  6. i just read the designer's blog and it sounds like you can remove the lighted portion of the dress and use it for other dresses or occasions (Halloween anyone?).
