SWEETNESS The quality or state of being sweet (arousing agreeable or delightful emotions):
Jackson Wiederhoeft founded their namesake label, Wiederhoeft, to expand the concept of bridal wear. The dramatics of theater, music, and performance inform their designs, which serve as costumes for the fanciful stories that inspire each collection. For Wiederhoeft's "The Music Box" collection about the loneliness and creativity of childhood, they imagined the universe of the dancer that spins en pointe inside the box. This baby doll dress of silver organza embroidered with crystal dragonflies and trimmed with crystals is her costume come to life.
