On the blog today, my Vintage Wedding Dress of the Week. This pretty 1930s dress is made in cotton lace with so many wonderful details.
I call it the Daisy Dress, as the lace is sprinkled with a charming repeat pattern of daises.
1930s wedding dress, Daisy, in cream cotton lace. Price £995 |
The style is a flattering bias cut - very easy and comfortable to wear. It just slips on over the head, with no zips or openings, and moves beautifully with your body.
The skirt is a 'zigzag' construction, very popular in 1930s wedding dresses. This gives it a lovely swish, and beautiful art deco seam patterns.

Lace wedding dresses from the 1930s are becoming harder to find in good wearable condition, as the lace dries out and can become brittle. So I was specially pleased to source this gorgeous dress in such wonderful condition. As it's bias cut, it's a flexible fit from size 8 to 10. I've teamed it here with a lovely original 1930s satin slip, included in the price of £995.
The 1930s is such a fabulous decade for wedding fashion. If you'd like to see 'Daisy' or view original 1930s wedding dresses, please do contact me to arrange an appointment. And keep your eye on my blog, there are lots more lovely original vintage wedding dresses here.
