NATURE GIRL OOAK linen WEDDING DRESS with ANTIQUE TRIMS, to custom order

Description

"She Walked Doily Down the Aisle"

This listing is for a custom-made, natural linen wedding dress with cummerbund, similar to, but not exactly the same, as the one pictured. Also includes a cropped bolero (may be ordered sans bolero), like the one in Ingenue. Of course, it's your party, so the bolero design may be changed, too :)

I will collaborate with you on the colour scheme and styling applied to my strapless fishtail-skirt design, to create a one of a kind gown for your special day, using my vast array of vintage and antique lace, trims, fabrics and scarves.

To give you an idea, the dress shown in the photos has a vintage barkcloth bodice (originally from a 1950s tablecloth) trimmed with hundred-year-old lace; the cummerbund has an antique chemical lace motif feature plus a crochet butterfly taken from a 1930s doily; and the silk cascading sash is a 1960s-70s silk scarf.

You may also, as my last client did, provide me with any nostalgic or heirloom items special to you and your family, which I can incorporate into your gown's embellishment.

Elegant but with a relaxed fit, it has a bias-cut bodice (so fits a variety of cup sizes) with elastic at the top back edge (may be boned at sides if desired). The waist is softly elasticated. The skirt is slim and tapered but not overly so - you won't have to shuffle down the aisle like Morticia! There are no zips or snaps - you just step into this dress (zip can be added if desired).

This gown particularly appeals to those brides-to-be who consider themselves more natural, a little quirky, and who appreciate upcycling and vintage as a lifestyle choice, while still seeking the femininity and grace of good design.
