Bridal and Eveningwear in Montrose

Eveningwear and bridalwear store Cecile Rivoire’s opened in Montrose, Calif., in August.

Rivoire specializes in making evening gowns that she said have a contemporary take on the glamorous Hollywood of Elizabeth Taylor.

Rivoire also offers designs by Alek Adorian and Riva Designs.

And what makes a gown truly elegant? “When it doesn’t reveal too much of a woman,” Rivoire said. “It just shows her beauty.”
