Ahh we have been lost in a world of beading, fringing, fur, satin and sparkles and have just about managed to come up for air after looking at these exquisite gowns from Eliza Jane Howell.
They have us feeling all festive for a sparking winter wedding or a shimmering day in the sun - these dresses work for any big day - and they have us thinking of glam tea parties, Gatsby-style shindigs or Downton Abbey sophistication.
Select styles are available from Kathryn Trueman in Morpeth and Joanne Kay in Stokesley
