Marry Me!?

Oh, dear, bloggers, I'm officially off my nut.  Even though I've been married for four years now and our wedding was a lovely affair (if I do say so myself), a little part of me has always regretted that I didn't follow through on some of my youthful plans of opting for a bridal look very much like the ones my great aunts wore on their 1930s wedding days.  Well, today I actually got not one, but two vintage wedding gowns for the shop (one is mid-30s, the other late 30s to early 40s), and even though I have oodles of packing (and sewing) to do, I could not resist trying one of them on.  Thankfully, it does not quite fit me or I swear to you I would be keeping it in hopes that le baron and I can do a vintage vow renewal next year.  If you are on the hunt for a 30s wedding dress and think this might be THE gown, feel free to send me a convo in the shop.  Otherwise, I will likely be listing this, and the other wedding gown, some time later this month.

*picking up my jaw* HOLY COW, baroness. How utterly ethereal can you get. Like you're the queen of the fairies... Geez louise. You're killing me! (In a good way of course!)

What a pretty dress--the style suits you well!

thanks! I'm sure it would look even better on someone the exact size. Still, it was SUCH fun to try it on!

So pretty! If I ever get married I don't know how I would ever decide on a dress---I would want to wear one from at least 6 different eras!

I'm curious. What did you end up wearing for your wedding?
You look utterly lovely in that dress! Very ethereal and romantic! :)
