WSJ's 'Dream Weavers' Showcases Soft, Etheral and Feminine Evening Gowns

WSJ Magazine's latest editorial, titled 'Dream Weavers,' features some strikingly elegant and feminine evening gowns, channeling a fairy-like attitude that can't help but put viewers into a trance.

Each gown featured in the editorial is a long and flowing number, with a fitted corset and a fuller skirt, billowing around model Andreea Diaconu with an ethereal quality. The most striking dress is a pale, pastel pink, complementing Diaconu's pale complexion while maintaining a sense of other-worldliness.

With this editorial, WSJ has proven that, even amidst a ton of grungy and harsh fashion styles, some traditional feminine ensembles can go a long way. By turning dreams into reality, as 'Dream Weavers' has done, WSJ has shown that little girls can indeed fulfill their childhood dreams of becoming a true fairy princess.
