Dear Reader,<\/i><\/p>\n

Ah, September,\u00a0and back to school for us all…\u00a0I hope you enjoyed a delightful Summer.\u00a0I’ve saved up something rather special to show you for the new season:\u00a0My new 1940s-inspired lace wedding dress. Ta-dah, here she is..!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

…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\u00a01940s-inspired\u00a0details…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

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…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

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…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

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…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We’re delighted with our new movie-star-glamorous dress. I hope you love her too. Dorothy is available now, priced \u00a31595 with apricot silk lining, or \u00a31495 with ivory silk.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If you like Dorothy and would like to see more vintage-style wedding dresses<\/a>, do check here<\/a>. And I always have many fabulous original<\/i> vintage 1940s and 1950s dresses here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, thanks for looking – and see you later this week.<\/p>\n

Love<\/i><\/p>\n
