However, Michele’s mother convinced her to wait and attend the Mira Zwillinger trunk show at Saks in L.A. Of course, she fell in love with first dress she tried on-the Chaz. “From observing other weddings, I knew I always loved Mira Zwillinger her dresses are so feminine and have the most gorgeous lace, beading, and design work that I have ever seen,” the bride says.
