"Le Dîner en Blanc"

A friend & customer of Tattered Rose has, for years, told us of an event that she attends every year....namely "Le Dîner en Blanc" (dinner in white)This magnificent event began in Paris in 1988 and has grown to cities all over the world!

To this event, you must wear all white and only white. You bring your own food and chairs and table and friends. It takes a great deal of planning & dedication. (I'm getting tired just writing about it)

You are then whisked away to your secret venue somehow....maybe on a bus? You and your other Dîner en Blanc enthusiasts set up your tables, show off your white outfits & wigs and then proceed to prepare your dinner to eat.

Since this is a "secret" event, you have to be invited. How you get invited is a mystery to us but this is what I know:  if they ever have a Brunch in Black event, I might consider going to that...mostly because I don't wear white except for when I get married. But, oh what fun this White Dinner seems to be!

Please click on the video below to see the wonderful world of Le Dîner en Blanc. It will surely inspire you to snaggle an invitation...or at the very least, wear something white!

P.S. Tattered Rose naturally has a concise & lovely collection of white wear for those who attend this prestigious event.

Le Dîner en Blanc International

Inspired by Lindsey Stirling......

There are so many young female singers here in Alberta....we have clothing that would work for gigs, award shows or album covers!

Little Store on the Prairies.......

That's us......Tattered Rose♥

Pretty & Romantic.......at Tattered Rose

We don't care too much about what's "in" or "out" with fashion, although the clothing we carry always seems to be ahead of the trends for some reason....

Anyway, if you want pretty clothing, we always do pretty & romantic & vintage-inspired♥

Excuse us while we do the scaffold......

What's next?

Tattered Rose' storefront has been (temporarily) obscured by scaffolding for repairs to the condo building we are in.

Please don't think that we have closed...we are still here! There IS access to our front door behind the scaffolding!

One of our friends/customers brought some toy hard hats for the mannequins to wear during this phase we like to call "The Great Scaffolding Event"

Gotta keep our sense of humour about it.

The Other Side of Midnight is at Tattered Rose

We love the "colour" BLACK at Tattered Rose and so, as it seems, do most of our customers, who are not cats....

Black is universal, goes to just about any event you can think of (yes, even a wedding) suits every lifestyle and is flattering to most women, even if you're not supposed to wear black. 

There are women who probably should wear brown instead of black due to their warm skin tone and/or hair colour BUT let's face it....there is no other colour that is so cool & timeless and that requires no explanation.

We could say that black is the "cat's meow" but that would be goofy, wouldn't it?

So, if you love wearing black, go ahead. Just do it....and yes, Tattered Rose carries a LOT of black clothing & jewellery all year 'round.

Pretty & Romantic....just the way we like it!

Oh my.....Tattered Rose is looking so pretty for summer!

We're Back!!!!!!!!!!
