1. The style is a perfect mix of classic and modern.

"I knew I wanted two looks for Abby's wedding—a ceremony dress and a dress for the reception—but in the end, I decided on one dress that can have two looks with a removable skirt," Inanc said. "I wanted her dress to be Audrey Hepburn, Dior classic, with a modern edge, and Kay Wataguchi, our amazing seamstress made this happen."

2. The magic's in the details.

"My favorite detail is the fabric we used," Inanc said. "I went to New York City to get the chantilly lace, and the silk tulle came from England, which made all the difference in the overall look of the dress."

3. The dress was specifically designed to capture Abby's personality.

"The dress is two dresses in one," Inanc said. "In one moment it's elegant and sophisticated, and the next it's short and sassy."

4. She couldn't have dreamed for a better model.

"I had a lot of fun dressing Melissa because she is open to wearing anything," Inanc said. "And, the fact that she wears clothes so well doesn't hurt either."

5. The easiest way to look your best? Be yourself!

"There are no rules in fashion, but if I had to choose one I would say be you and understand your body and what looks good on you," Inanc said.
