The informal elegance of the small-time Classic Boa Stole set against a stunning evening gown began its ascent to couture fame as early as the 1940's. The trend toward lower-cost natural shoulder Stoles, with carefully thought-out embellishments and accessories, arose as a detail showing that the piece came from a famous Fashion-House - an Exclamation Point, of sorts, on a formal evening dress. This small accent-piece also acted as a down-payment in the early days of couture for those who could not otherwise afford the whole garment.
There were feather or fur Boas which either stood alone or were applied to tailor-mades as though they were Stoles, or were attached to countless hems forming borders to garments of all kinds. There were huge muffs that could be turned into a Bolero Stole, some with flares or bows at each end. In designing for evening, designers followed the clinging line of the long evening dress, determining the point of emphasis where the Stole was to be placed.
In celebration of White Stole's small, elegant Classic Boa Stole, which will be walking the runway of the 2014 Seattle Wedding Show, we are thrilled to extend our Special Invitation to all 2014 Seattle Wedding Show Attendees:"
