As the golden sun sank low behind the magnolia trees of Charleston, the air turned crisp with the first whispers of fall. The grand oak-lined carriage path leading to the Fairmont Manor glowed with amber leaves, rustling beneath the hooves of arriving carriages. The Autumn Ball had arrived. And so have I, in the new gown by Poison Rouge called Eda, a chestnut-colored gown worn amongst the sea of pastel gowns and silk gloves; I stood as the embodiment of the season itself.
This gown, Eda in Chestnut, flows like the smooth fall of leaves—a breathtaking cascade of creme, chestnut, russet, and warm sienna, much like a Victorian dream. I love when a gown is as beautiful from the back as it is from the front. I know that the rich layers of silk and taffeta catch the gleam of candlelight as I move. A delicate ruffle frames the neckline and sleeves, adding an ethereal softness to my elegant silhouette.As I stepped through the grand double doors of the Southern ballroom—filled with golden chandeliers, sweeping staircases, and music lilting from a string quartet—every gentleman turned to admire me. Murmurs flitted through the room like flocks of sparrows."Why, who is that vision of fall's finest beauty?" "Never have I seen a lady wear the season so well." "She must be the Autumn Belle herself." An array of well-dressed suitors, from dashing young heirs to silver-haired colonels, vying for my attention, offered dances and declarations of admiration. For me, this night is a celebration of warmth before winter, a moment of grace before change, and beauty born in the hues of the harvest. And as the night deepened and music echoed through the Southern sky, the Autumn Belle danced on—forever etched in the memory of Charleston’s most unforgettable evening.
