Australia's most famous designer, Collette Dinnigan, got her start sewing silk underwear for friends. Twenty years later, she has created a feminine look that's both modern and timeless.

Beautiful Beading

Dinnigan loves the subtle effect of matte beading, which generates texture without adding wild shine.

Her clothes are beautiful and I love the vintage style. Although the prices are outrageous for any average person. Can you find something similiar from another designer that we can afford? Or perhaps multiple designers that offer vintage, classic designs.

We do need fashion ideas that we can afford. This also doesn't speak to me. I've looked at the "virtual hair design" link and was disappointed that most of the options required a purchased registration. Insytle.com is free; but unfortunately the styles are primarily for a generation younger than me.

Your magazine had a photo of the designer in her own product - a slip dress. This article simply did not speak to me - if her criteria is in the fit of a garment, she should look in the mirror. She looked frumpy and lumpy. Also, could we please have some more resonably priced fashions in this magazine, please!
