Going to the Chapel with Dolce & Gabbana

MILAN--Dolce & Gabbana's muse is getting married in the spring. She's from a Sicilian family and her trousseau is filled with the finest lace bed linens, tea towels, doilies, and table cloths. Picture Italian actress Simonetta Stefanelli as Apollonia Vitelli, Michael Corleone's young bride in The Godfather.

There were sheer full length dresses, impossibly short baby doll dresses and every length in between. The designers' attention to tailoring shone through in fitted knee length dresses with delicate necklines and three-quarter-length sleeves and day dresses with full skirts. There was plenty of lingerie for the bride's wedding night too: Muslin bloomers with crocheted edges, bralet tops and corsets.
