The dress below was made by Dress Forms Design. I love its retro-chic styling with its own unique spin. I'm slowly falling in love with colored petticoats and knee length circle skirts. Train, schmain! I think what I love most about this dress is how obviously its style fits the bride. Her hair, the black satin ribbon, the button bouquet (made by the bride, princesslasertron). It's all so expressive which is exactly what a wedding dress should be.
Jacquelyn Kennedy's wedding dress was so beautiful! It's funny though, it doesn't have the same amazing quality on a mannequin as it does on Jackie-O herself. I love the tea length, the neckline, and the architectural ruffling on the skirt. So classically pretty.
I just love vintage wedding dresses. Who doesn't hold onto their own wedding dress thinking their own daughter would love to wear it some day. Of course, the changing of styles more often than not leaves what was once considered beautiful, sometimes horrifying.
I have a basement full of them. The most I've ever had at one time was 125 in my old studio! Some of them are hideous, but others are so inspiring. Although I always see them becoming something else, I love looking at the ones that have been lovingly cared for and withstood the many decades of fashion.
Here are a couple of my favorites:
