let me take a moment for an off-etsy post -- yoo lee of saja wrote me last fall about her bridal line, which you've likely seen on stylemepretty, 100 layer cake, darcy miller's brides guide, etc. amen.
a personal note, was at a (non-bridal) saja trunk show moons ago at dc's now-closed circle boutique, and her dresses are truly lovely -- airy without frouf, intricate without fussiness. woman-owned company, independent designer, at roughly the same price as jcrew*.
for you lovely new yorkers, her nolita trunk show is 11-9 tomorrow and 11-8 saturday at 250 elizabeth street. rsvp by email required, see the invitation below!
for the rest of us, see yoo lee's beautiful work at sajainc.com.
the tagline for this shop is "sustainable garb" -- upcycled, sustainable, eco-friendly materials; feminine + flattering styles; very reasonably priced custom/handmade dresses. win, win, win.
these would make lovely bridal party dresses (or in white/ivory...)
