Dita Von Teese
Regardless of how the marriage turned out, Dita’s dress from her wedding to Marilyn Manson is stunning. I love the vibrant, iridescent fabric. It looks like shot silk or something like it. The volume of the skirt is gorgeous, and I love the little tricorn hat!

Stenciling was another signature of his work and the belt of this Peplos is stenciled in silver with a band of leaves. From Attire’s Mind, FB.
