A couple of weeks ago I traveled to Arizona and stopped at an antique mall in the middle of nowhere. It was quite a pleasant surprise as there were a bunch of antique Edwardian and Victorian dresses, antique hats, and vintage jackets. I didn’t buy any of those antique clothes though because I simply didn’t have a need for them and they looked too much like costumes. Great for vintage inspiration for a costumer, but not really for everyday wear.
However, I did spot this amazing vintage 1920s wedding dress hanging in a bit of a hidden corner. I instantly noticed the lace details on the hem, so exquisite! This vintage wedding dress would be ideal for a romantic flapper inspired wedding or a rural wedding in a barn or vineyard with a wreath of florals in your hair en lieu of a traditional veil. Although you could wear a wreath of flowers with a small lace veil, that would be so romantic and so beautiful!
I have a couple of antique Edwardian clothes in my vintage etsy shop, like this vintage edwardian top. And if you’re looking for a vintage 1920s dress that you can wear to a wedding but not be the bride, I also have this beautiful cream colored layered vintage 1920s chiffon flapper dress.
I will still be updating the design of the main vintage shop… I meant to have it done by yesterday, but instead I needed a much needed day off (although I still did find some time to steam and hand wash a few vintage cocktail dresses which I will be photographing in my studio this evening).
Have a pleasant day everyone!
