Sheer factor: Brandon R. Dwyer's georgette creations marry sweet with sensual

TORONTO - Brandon R. Dwyer was clearly in the mood for love if his latest designs are any indication, with the presentation of breezy blouses and body-contouring dresses on the final day of runway shows at Toronto's LG Fashion Week.

The "Project Runway Canada" alum added delicate touches to give translucent draped georgette blouses a hint of dazzle and romanticism. There was colourful striping on gathered necklines and a cascade of carefully dotted Swarovski crystals.

Flirty, body-hugging dresses and minis boasted flared hems, bubble bottoms and tulle draping. And the trend of underwear as outerwear remains, in full silk taffeta bustiers and corseted tops in lush taffeta and smooth charmeuse.

Dwyer went bold with rich pairings of colourful hues, favouring striping as accents on necklines and adorning A-line skirted bottoms in copper-tinged orange and cream, and turquoise and black.
