I only saw one Jenny Packham dress there that I recognized, the butterfly one. But, I was wondering if this could be the white sparkly one that I've always liked: The one she wore to the 2003 CBA, and also in those shots in Denmark with Hans Christian Andersen. I wish I could see the details better. I think it probably is. The neckline isn't as stretched on Hayley as it is on the model, and the model's doesn't appear as ruffly at the bottom as Hayley's does, and there's no material around the straps of Hayley's dress, but I think that's probably it. Aren't you dying to see the dress Hayley chooses for her wedding? I am!

Hi Libby,
While I agree that it is a lovely dress and that the Jenny Packham one could be the dress in question, I don't think you mean Hans Christian Andersen - he died in 1875! I assume you mean Morten Harket, with whom she sang and appeared on the red carpet (in the white dress) in 2005.

Thought that I would quote some of my old Jenny Packham posts. Hi Everyone, I thought that I'd do a blast from the past with some of Hayley's dresses from 2003. I believe that Jenny Packham was lending Hayley dresses at this time. Jenny Packham was just an emerging designer in 2003, but now she's very famous. Spring Summer 2003Hayley's is obviously lined in white and you can tell it's the same dress by the heart patterns and the detailing on the bottom. And before anyone says anything, the dress isn't actually meant to be worn without a lining, they're just showcased like that so you can see the detailing better. I'm also placing my bets that these two dresses are one and the same -- the beading seems to be identical. Does anyone have better photos from this event? I think it is a launch party for Pure. Jenny Packham Spring/ Summer 2004The runway version is in a slightly different colours, but I'm pretty sure it's the same design. In answer to my own question, Hayley wore the middle dress to the Faenol Festival in 2003. Speaking of that Festival, Hayley wore this pink dress with butterflies. The sleeves etc look extremely similar to this Jenny Packham dress. I was wondering if anyone had clearer photos so I can try to figure out if they're the same design?

I remember seeing Hayley perform in a dress very like this one in style at the Derngate on 18th November 2004. The colour however was different, a sort of toffee brown. Couldn't find a photo of it, in the concert thread but there might be one somewhere else. Martin D

Oh, so that's still not the dress I'm thinking of. We may never know, I guess.

It does look very Jenny Packham. hwi.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Media&action=display&thread=749&page=4Cheers, Jillian

Hi Jillian,
No, it isn't that one. It had sort of horizintal stripes a bit like the one in the photo. I'll have to have a dig and see if I can find a photo. I'm sure I have seen one somewhere.

Oh gosh Jillian, I'm struggling... I'm beginning to think it was this dress archive.hayley-westenra-international.com/dhtml-pages/html-2004/concerts/Pure%20Magic/images/PureWinter_SS-0018PIC.htmbut perhaps the lighting made it look a different colour. The memory plays strange tricks. But memory says it was rather more flared, and brownish. Quite a heavy looking dress. But with the same sort of horizontal markings. I have had a good poke around, and can't find any pictures of it, or the concert where I saw her wearing it. But the period is right for the dress I have shown, so maybe... Martin D Martib D

Oooh! I've never seen that last one, Jillian! Nice sparkly floral design! I like the style, too.

I like the new red dress, too. Yeah, how many Amanda W dresses is that now? Let's see... 4? Well, if my count is correct, it's not the most number of dresses/outfits she's ever worn by a single designer before. She's worn more from Xterity and Lindka Ceirach. Well, and probably from Jenny Packham, Annah Stretton, and Sonia Smith, too. Alice Temperley, too, now that I think of it, if you include the tops, and I do. :wink: What do you think, will she choose a wedding dress from a New Zealand designer? If not, I think Lindka Ceirach would be a good one. I had a look at Amanda Wakeley's bridal section, but I found them extremely plain and boring. For the most part, Amanda's collections are very plain, and with not a very good selection in colors, in my opinion, but the ones Hayley has chosen are nice. I no longer see Hayley's "moss-colored" dress on the website. I'm also anticipating the CBA, see if she wears a new dress, or something we've seen. The "moss" dress is the only recent dress of Hayley's I would choose, but I kind of hope she wears something prettier than that. But the style was very mature and becoming on her, so it would be fine. But since it's dark and plain, like her last CBA arrival dress, I would hope for a different color this time. I always like dresses with a little bit of design on it, either with sparkly, floralish designs, or something with the material itself. Or, a dress that's just one color, but all sparkly, like her 2004 CBA dress.

What little I've seen of Marchesa's dresses, I really, really like. That seems to be a popular designer for the Grammy's and Oscar's.
On the other hand, is there anything in her current wardrobe, that we're aware of, that would suit for the CBA launch, assuming she attends? Maybe the new red one. Or again, maybe something new!
