I don't know about you all, but I still love all things Queens and Princesses. Today, I spent a good part of the afternoon at the LSU Museum of Art in complete wonderment over the Suzanne Perron exhibit. Ms. Perron is a dressmaker, artist, designer extraordinaire who lives in New Orleans and designs gowns for debutantes, carnival queens and maids, as well as wedding gowns. Since I have no access to the grand carnival balls in New Orleans, I have only seen some of these gowns in the pages of (what's left of) the New Orleans paper. So, when this exhibit was announced, I knew I had to see it!

I hope those of you who appreciate dressmaking and artistry (and queens, princesses and brides) will enjoy these photos. I took many, many more and it was difficult choosing which ones to include here!
