The night before Kate Middleton walked down the aisle in a lace-sleeved McQueen confection, Vancouver-based brand Obakki (44 Water St., 604-669-9727, obakki.com) wed church and lace (cobwebby knits and diaphanous silks too), adorning St. Andrew’s-Wesley Church with a runway to debut its Fall 2011 collection. As pieces hit the shop floor this month, snag your own lacy number, the Amelia dress ($440, shown). Wear it now with bare, bronzed legs, and with tights when the weather turns cool.
