Quotes

"I put a lot of time and effort into making these dresses fit a lot of American women. I think to be able to go into the store, for Michelle to find the dress, try it on, love it, and to be able to just wear it, speaks to what I'm doing every day."—Donna Ricco³

"I designed my 2008 spring collection with "pretty" in mind. This season I'm inspired by everything feminine. From fluid fabrics to flirty silhouettes, you'll discover the pleasure of putting on a dress this spring. This spring there's something delightfully flirtatious to flatter every body."—Donna Ricco⁴
