The Dress
The dress was bought from a vintage wedding dress warehouse salon in Holloway, North London in April 2012. I specifically wanted an original 1950's wedding dress and though the dress has no original labels, the delicacy of the lace and netting beneath makes it clear this is something special.
It has a beautiful pattern of bows in ivory lace over a large netted skirt. The neckline is flattering with its boat neck shape and the slight layering at the end of the sleeves which are 3/4 length make it very feminine in style. The open skirt at the back which shows the layered netting is quite striking from behind. I had a full netted petticoat hand-made on the Isle of Wight which gives the dress a full, bouncy skirt which swishes and moves very gracefully. The dress comes mid calf which is also very feminine and flattering.
I felt a million dollars when I walked down the aisle and received so many lovely comments on how the dress looked. I am sad to be selling the dress however I will not have an opportunity to wear it again and it seems a waste to have it shut away in a cupboard in my bedroom.
Measurements: Length 45 inches, waist 27 inches, hips approx 36 inches (difficult to be accurate with the netting underneath).
Alterations
The waist and back had to be made smaller as the original size was too big. No other alterations were made.
