Lis Simon Wedding Dresses in Montreal

I'm proud to announce that we are the first retailer in Eastern Canada of the Lis Simon line of wedding dresses.  I met the team behind Lis Simon at the Chicago Bridal Market exhibition at the end of March.  I was immediately struck by the quality of the designs and fabric.  What really got me next were the inner construction details.  Let me just say Wow.  I am a real stickler for boning and an inner wide elastic strap to  give structure and support.  (Blame it on my background in Architecture.)  This is surprisingly hard to find! The Lis Simon line is the best in this department that I have ever seen.  The result of this is that her strapless dresses stay put 1000%.  No slipping down, period.  The effect of the boning is that it molds you subtly into more of an hourglass figure.  It's like the benefits of a whole slew of Pilates and Yoga classes.  Instantly! :)  You gotta love that!

By this point I wanted to carry the line, but can they be made-to-measure?  After all, that is the concept behind Christianne Brunelle Couture Nuptiale...!  The answer is yes.  Not only can they be made to measure, they can accommodate several customizations: custom train length, changing a zipper closure for a lace-up style or vice versa.


Finally, I have to mention the embellishments.  This is definitely one of the defining elements of the Lis Simon line.  The lace is very unique and light.  The beading is modern and innovative -  never overdone.  Some of the dresses even come with polished stone spherical buttons that can be done up to conceal the zipper.  This one detail alone gives the impression of a $5000 dress with a price tag of less than half that.


So yes, I'm definitely in love with these gowns.  We will have a trunk show of the entire line in the coming months.  An event not to miss!  As of today we have three styles in our showroom with three more coming in two weeks.  Many more are coming in two months.  Can't wait!
