A VINTAGE MEDLEY

 I have some great vintage-style treats for you today, all available on Etsy.  Above:  A sheath of 4 ply crepe with the added lace overlay gives a real 1930's vintage feel. Lightweight and drapey, the crinkled surface of this particular crepe has an incredible swathe and drape effect making it a natural for the bias cut evening gown look. Added to the sides and back are silk organza godets that give off a modified mermaid silhouette.  From Amy-Jo Tatum Bride
 A la 1920s romantic French inspired bridal cap with lace and a sweeping veil.  Available via special order through Twigs and Honey.
