1930's Candellight Satin gowns

Bias cut, slinky candlelight satin gowns epitomize the glamorous heady days of Hollywood in the 1930's. Like today, Hollywood starlets of the time hugely influenced fashion. This style of gown was much copied and adapted by the nimble fingered young bride who wanted to shimmer and shine.

 I have often come across original sewing patterns of this time and indeed a sewing manual belonging to my great grandfather (a tailor in London) has a number of patterns in this style.

 These gowns can be tricky to wear for mere mortals but if you are lucky to be lean and slender they can be totally knock out!

1930's Wedding Glamour Part 2

Wowzers!!!

These photos have a real feeling of Old School Hollywood Glamour. They were taken on La Peniche barge on the canal which is the perfect spot for any romantic dinner or event.

These Dirty Fabulous vintage dresses hail from the 1930's and 40's and are such an elegant option for a wedding.

Although dresses from this period are nearly always fully covered they still remain very saucy on as the luxurious bias cut satins and silks hug the body. Definitely not a forgiving style but absolutely magnificent on.
