Anita Pagliaro. 1030 Lexington Avnue at 73rd Street (737.2684)
Wedding bells are ringing in your near future and you don’t have a thing to wear. You dread the traditional (and traditionally boring) look of bridal-shop dresses, but time is running out. Before you call the whole thing off, make a beeline for Anita Pagliaro’s shop. For the past. seven years she’s been whipping up unusual and spirited wedding dresses ($400 to $1200). If you’re using your mother’s gown, Ms. Pagliaro can make the perfect new headdress to go with it. She can also outfit you for other big events (another Oscar nomination?) with her enchanting evening dresses. A taffeta strapless bustier ($650) comes in colors ranging from turquoise and red to black.
