Faviana makes Golden Globe dresses on TV tonight

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

If you are a fan of celebrity dresses, you will want to watch Access Hollywood TONIGHT!  One of our favorite manufacturers, Faviana, will be featured as they reveal their “Red Carpet Replicas” just 48 hours after the Golden Globes.  This year they will be showing how they make dresses worn by Kate Winslet, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Mendes.  It is a neat little look behind the scenes of a dress maker, how they pick which styles to make, and how samples are made for the factory to put into production.  Access Hollywood is on at 7:30 in most areas, but check your local TIVO to be sure.

Kate Winslet – Classic black strapless gown with jeweled waist clip Eva Longoria – Strapless red mermaid gown

CBsLimited.com Unveils Search Tool for Prom Dresses

Monday, January 12th, 2009

LANCASTER, S.C.–CB’s Limited is pleased to announce the launch of an industry leading online search tool for prom dresses and evening gowns. The first of its kind, the searchable web-based gallery will allow visitors to browse through thousands of prom dresses, narrowing their selections by color, skirt style, back and sleeve cut, with the simple click of a mouse.

“Today’s web-savvy client can find that perfect prom dress in a matter of minutes rather than in weeks or even months.”

“Prom is one of the most memorable events of a young lady’s life,” explains April Mathis, Co-owner, “Today’s web-savvy client can find that perfect prom dress in a matter of minutes rather than in weeks or even months.”

Owners Craig and April Mathis took over the 40-year-old, family-run business in the fall of 1999 steering the organization away from their roots in pageantry and refocusing on the fashion forward trends of prom dresses and evening wear.

CEO, Craig Mathis, immediately recognized the impact that the internet could have on their retail business and in 2001 launched cbslimited.com. CB’s Limited has since seen tremendous growth as one of the largest online retailers of prom dresses and as a trusted reseller for the world’s finest labels.

“Searching through thousands of prom dresses can be a little overwhelming for many teens,” explains Mr. Mathis, “so we’ve spent over a year developing a system to help them narrow down their selection.”

CB’s Limited online customers enjoy secure shopping and free shipping in the US, FedEx worldwide shipping for international orders, a lowest price guarantee, no sales tax for customers outside SC and the widest selection of prom dresses on the net.

NEW Search Tool For Prom Dresses

Monday, January 12th, 2009

We here at CB’s are proud to present a brand new feature for the site.  The Dress Builder! It is an online tool that can take a lot of time out of your search for that perfect prom dress.  We designed the Dress Builder to allow our prom shoppers to be very precise, or just browse through the thousands of dresses available.

Have you noticed how difficult it is to find the perfect prom dress?  Most of the websites out there are sorted like ours, by the name of the manufacturer.  So unless you know what manufacturer carries the type of dresses you like, you are guaranteed to spend many hours looking through each and every vendor till you find that perfect dress.  We designed the Dress Builder to change that and help our customers narrow down their search to find exactly what they are looking for.

If you want a red dress, simply check red, click update and you will see every dress pictured in Red on the site.

If you want a red cocktail dress, with a halter neck, and a low back, you can view them all in just 3 clicks!

It took us a while to get this all together, so we hope you enjoy!  The search by color feature is pretty cool and it’s something people have asked for in the past.  Currently only prom dresses can be viewed in the Dress Builder, but in the coming months we will turn on the ability to search for Bridesmaid and Pageant dresses, along with more detailed dress options.  Screenshot below:

Travolta family loses son…

Monday, January 5th, 2009

8_23_travoltafnc1_4501

John Travolta and Kelly Preston lost their first born son on their recent vacation to the Bahamas. Being the parent of 2 children I can imagine that this has to be the toughest thing that they have or ever will go through. The death of their 16 year old son Jett was something that they never saw coming so quickly, nor does it look like it could have been prevented given the care that he had always been given. Our prayers and condolences go out to the Travolta family. By the way…go give your kids a hug today!
