Montreal designer creates ‘elegant’ look for Jessica Mulroney at royal wedding
MONTREAL — A Montreal designer says seeing her custom dress on tastemaker Jessica Mulroney at the royal wedding was a wonderful experience, and it’s giving her brand an international boost.
Antoinette Di Carlo, the designer and creative director at Di Carlo Couture, said she watched the ceremony from her home in Montreal Saturday morning before heading to work to fit other clients.
“It was a great feeling, that’s for sure. Designing and fitting the dress is one thing, but to see it on camera is kind of a reality, so it’s a wonderful feeling,” Di Carlo said.
Di Carlo said she and Mulroney connected via social media and had begun developing a relationship, after Mulroney asked her to design a high-waisted, wide-leg, silk and crepe pantsuit for her last fall.
