SLIDESHOW: New for fall 2012, Watters introduces Encore, a collection of little lace dresses for before and after the Big Day.

Move over LBD, there’s a new party dress in town: The LLD (Little Lace Dress). At least so say the folks at Watters, the Dallas-based bridal fashion company. For fall 2012, Watters is launching a new line of dresses: Encore, a collection of "perfectly polished lace dresses perfect for a rehearsal dinner, exit dress, or just a girl’s night out."

The idea with Encore is to provide brides with a stylish little number for every event before and after the big day. We think the frocks look equally suitable for a city hall or courthouse wedding, or as bridesmaid dresses, too. The LLDs come in a variety of styles and six different colors; silk versions are also available for gals who don’t love lace.

The price point for the collection is $250-300. In Seattle, Encore is available at Bella Bridesmaid. The dresses are set to arrive at the shop in August.

We haven’t seen the Encore dresses in person yet, but we fell in love with a Watters silk charmeuse wedding gown we featured in the new summer/fall 2012 issue of Seattle Met Bride & Groom, so our hopes are high.

If you get to the dresses before we do, let us know what you think!
