Introducing new DOROTHY, 1940s wedding dress in fine Chantilly lace.

Dear Reader,

Ah, September, and back to school for us all… I hope you enjoyed a delightful Summer. I’ve saved up something rather special to show you for the new season: My new 1940s-inspired lace wedding dress. Ta-dah, here she is..!

…As you may remember, I’m loving all things 1940s at the moment. (I’ll be doing a little round-up later this week, just to remind you!) And so, I’ve updated my Dorothy wedding dress with some gorgeous 1940s-inspired details…

The original Dorothy is so so pretty, with its fitted bodice, A-line skirt and lace overlay. It’s a very flattering and elongating combination, and always a popular style with my girls…

This classic, flattering silhouette lends itself very well to more sophisticated and glamorous 1940s styling. For the new dress, we’ve added long elegant sleeves and a chic V-neck – giving a very different feel…

Perhaps you’ve already noticed the gorgeous Chantilly lace we’ve used for the new dress? It’s wonderful quality – very fine. And it has a beautiful border, which makes a stunning feature on the sleeves and the base of the skirt…

The V-neckline is finished with a delicate French lace trim too. And the full-length skirt dips slightly at the back, giving just a whisper of a train.

For the lining, we’ve chosen a pale apricot/champagne silk. This colour gives the dress a warm and flattering glow, perfect for pale English Rose complexions. And it looks equally beautiful in the classical ivory silk option.

We’re delighted with our new movie-star-glamorous dress. I hope you love her too. Dorothy is available now, priced £1595 with apricot silk lining, or £1495 with ivory silk.

If you like Dorothy and would like to see more vintage-style wedding dresses, do check here. And I always have many fabulous original vintage 1940s and 1950s dresses here.

And of course, I’d love to see you in person just contact me to discuss your needs!

Meanwhile, thanks for looking – and see you later this week.

Love
