Hello hello! Well, another week another dress.. and this time I am going to go all out and say I want more forties brides. I am not-so-secretly hoping for someone to book an appointment to find a dress for a very large, formal wedding where the length of the train is in proportion to the scale of things! 

Here’s a very quick snap of a super deco one which I love – and it will count as a before pic as it is pre dry cleaning and steaming! But hopefully you will see the bare bones potential…

So this week I have had quite a few spring brides looking for typically fifties ballerina styled dresses; which of course is no problem as we have plenty! This is a lovely one for a petite bride..

Available here!: http://www.tastyvintage.com/product.php?id=146

I didn’t really want to sell this one as it’s sucha  lovely piece, but the unfortunate thing with ballgowns is - unlike a 40’s jacket - you can’t really mix them into your everyday wardrobe too easily. All very well and good if you are storing them for a purpose.. but as my ball invitations seem to have dried up it’s time for it to go!

I dates it to approximately 1959/60 as there’s a very similar design in the V&A museum here: http://www.vam.ac.uk/images/image/56766-popup.html

I love the chantilly lace on this version!!

Hello! As there are so many lovely dresses hidden away in the bridal room that maybe it would be an idea to feature one a week on the blog.

This is one of the earlier ones we currently have in stock; a gorgeous Titanic era dress in a fine net with gauzy cotton embroidered trim. It also features delicate silk tassels to the rear of the sailor styled ‘collar’.

Approximately a modern size UK12..

Back with more next week.. this is just to whet your appetites, clearly!

And doesn’t she look lovely.  You can buy it now on the website!

Please forgive my absence. I’ve been hard at work adding new listings to the website (like the one below!), sourcing goodies for the Christmas Market, and just generally non-stop vintage related stuff.. which is good, as it means I have a massive list of things to blog about that are actually quite interesting. Watch this space, I shan’t leave it long!
