R. Brooke Priddy, Ship to Shore Clothier
“Asheville is home to so many incredible artists, thinkers, and makers,” Brooke says of the town she adopted in 2002. She
produces custom wedding dresses and other gowns from modal (reconstituted cellulose from beech trees).
“I use it with a 5% spandex blend; it drapes exquisitely.” Being a traditionalist, too, Brooke incorporates heirloom textiles
and adds insets or appliqué. Her work is available through her studio, 428-A Haywood Road (by appointment). Find lingerie
and swimsuits, also part of her line, at Honeypot, 86 North Lexington Avenue. Bridal gowns start at $1,000. shiptoshoreshop.com or 828/242-1378
