When Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner one week ago,  her dress was the talk of the town. Instead of wearing a trendy strapless, very Hollywood wedding gown, Ivanka chose a tasteful, elegant and modest dress created by Vera Wang. The beautiful lace sleeves were the highlight of the dress. Ivanka’s dress resembled the dress Grace Kelly wore when she married Prince Rainer of Monaco in 1956.  Helen Rose, the MGM costume designer, made Grace’s iconic wedding dress. According to Ms. Wang, it was the lace and the royal factor of this dress that impressed Ivanka.

Ivanka’s dress consists of three layers of different kinds of lace, including Lyon and Chantilly. The bottom layer was embroidered and each layer was pieced together by hand to create a different pattern in the lace. “You could see the layers underneath when she moved,” said Ms. Wang, who had about a month to make the gown.

Will Ivanka be a trendsetter with her “sleeves?” Ms. Wang hopes this is the case. She stated, “Nothing would make me happier. I’ve been doing strapless dresses for 15 years. It’s tiring.”

Hopefully, Vera’s prediction is correct; this would be refreshing.
