This may explain why, 18 months ago, the prestigious New York publishing house, Carnegie Mellon, decided to print her PhD. Usually, post-grad students are considered lucky if they find a few people willing to plough through their thesis. However, Sinead's pioneering study, Women in the Parks of Paris: 1848-1900, will soon be available in bookstores across the world. As fate would have it, the day Carnegie Mellon told her they wanted to publish her thesis was also the day she met her future husband, Gareth Clancy, a pharmacist from Sligo. "The girls in work said we had to go for a drink to celebrate," she recalls. "So we went out, and he was there, and that was it." Six months later, Gareth proposed, and Sinead began planning her dress. "Dior said: 'We invent nothing; we always start from something that has come before','' she explains, ''so that was the feeling I wanted behind the dress." Sinead sought to emulate Dior's classic Forties silhouettes, but without the structure. Considering that early Dior dresses consisted of reams of netting, hoops and pinning, this was no mean ambition. Sean and Sinead had worked together at BTs for years, but it was only when she saw his collection on display in the Design Centre that Sinead realised he was the designer she wanted. "As soon as I saw his collection, I had complete faith in what he'd do. I didn't even go shopping for wedding dresses -- it was kind of a no-brainer for me." "I like my clothes to be tailored and sexy," Sean says, "and I like women to look feminine." It was his understanding of fit that drew Sinead to one of his dresses, a black evening gown with a sweetheart neckline. "She didn't want anything frou-frou, which was perfect," Sean explains. They began to work on the dress, and by the second fitting Sinead was certain Sean could deliver her dream dress. "There was a moment of recognition. I stood in front of the mirror, and thought, 'That's the one,'" she says. wedding dresses wow gold aion gold wow power leveling wedding dresses And while the ao dai has undergone some modern interpretations, the four-panel ao tu than has retained its original shape, beauty and vivid rustic flavor. Usually made of plain fabric (no floral or other prints) and mainly in dark colors, the ao tu than has for long been a dress worn on special occasions wedding dresses like weddings or festivals. The colors might be dark, but they are bright.

There is something about wedding dresses: they seem to possess some special power. A friend of mine worked in a famous bridal shop and she told me that there was a small room at the back of the shop called The Graveyard, filled with wedding dresses that had been made, but never worn. How terrifying, I thought -- a room stacked with taffeta and jilted dreams. This sort of emotional investment was new to Sean. "It nearly feels like there are three people in the room when you're doing a fitting. The dress becomes a living thing. I mean, I've done commissions for other people before, a cocktail dress or a suit, but there is so much more emotion in a wedding dress." Despite that, Sean wasn't able to attend the wedding last month. He is moving to London to join Christopher Bailey's leading design team at Burberry Prorsum. He feels a degree of anxiety about the move. "I do have this fear; I think it may be an Irish thing, that people will say: 'Ah, no, now. G'wan home, you're grand.' I know I'm capable of being a good designer but so are 10,000 other people," Sean says, "so it's a matter of trying and seeing how it goes."
