Dorothy is a new version of my 1950s-style Blanche dress. Dorothy features a full length, more A-line skirt to give a softer look. <\/p>\n

A really versatile dress, Dorothy can work in so many different ways: I’ve shown it here in ivory silk and corded lace, using the beautiful border for the sleeve and hem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I named the dress after my lovely model, Dorothy, pictured here!<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The Dorothy dress is available now from \u00a31495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n As well as the pretty short sleeve shown here, Dorothy also looks fabulous with a three-quarter or full length sleeve. The photos here show a softly scooped neckline, but a sharper V neckline also works beautifully. And right now, I’m working on a new Dorothy made in a finer lace, with a palest apricot silk lining. It’s gorgeous! And I’ll show it to you very soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Dorothy dress, available now from \u00a31495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n Just to remind you about the dress from which it’s adapted, the pictures below are beautiful ‘Blanche’ – always popular with my brides – in ballerina length and with 3\/4 sleeve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Blanche, 1950s style wedding dress from \u00a31495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Blanche, 1950s style wedding dress from \u00a31495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Blanche, 1950s style wedding dress from \u00a31495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Both dresses shown here are available now, priced \u00a31495.
