Kinda Vintage!?!

mikeanddes · December 2010

Hey Ladies,
I am new to the board...so hello! I am going for a vintage look. I am having my moms 35 year old lace wedding dress re-made into a 50's style dress for me. I am super excited and a little nervous. Does anyone have vintage style dresses they can post pics of?

Welcome! I love the idea of taking an already vintage gown and transforming it into a style from another era. And the '50s look is really in right now. If you want to see contemporary, '50s-inspired wedding dresses (generally tea length/mid-calf), you should definitely look at www.stephaniejamescouture.com. At www.justinalexanderbridal.com, look at his style #8465. GORGEOUS! And www.candyanthony.com loves to design '50s fashions, too. You might also get some ideas at www.dollycouture.com. If you like '50s NON wedding dresses, look at www.bettiepageclothing.com.

Good luck!

Awesome, thanks. I have checked out their webpages before. Candy Anthony is what inspired me and when I saw my moms dress, I knew it was the perfect fit. I will post pictures when it is complete.

I don't have any 50s pics, but welcome to the board!

Try The Frock.com or Vintageous.com Both have true vintage wedding dresses that you migh tbe able to take inspiration from. Etsy also would have some on their site too that you could draw from. Sounds very cool and it's awesome that you are actually using your mom's dress. Mine would barely fit on my thigh!
