DOLLY J
Dolly J brought a hyper feminine collection injected with loud saturated pop colors like mint greens and candy pinks. The collection’s seductive appeal was offset by 70’s florals, pleated skirts and big fur sleeves. Bows and pleated frills formed an integral part of the red carpet worthy, evening ensembles.
