Vintage Wedding Dress Patterns
Posted in Posters on 03/11/2010 06:31 pm by admin
How can I get my bridesmaids to tell me how they really feel about the dresses I’ve picked for them?
I’ve recently found (what I think ) are the perfect bridesmaid dresses. My colors are earthy tones (chocolate brown and champagne) with an accent of navy blue (fall wedding) and I have 2 semi-themes. One is a sort of vintage 40′s/50′s elegance (my dress is being made from a vintage 50′s gown pattern) and a nautical theme since the reception is on a yacht. Here is the bridesmaid dress: http://www.dessy.com/index.cfm?go=dresses&style=2060
But, I’m not so sure my girls are sold on them (though they looked GREAT in them) how do I get them to give me honest feedback? I want them all to feel beautiful but still would like to use a dress that fits with the classic, elegant theme I have going for my wedding. Any advice would help! (All the girls keep saying,” They’re nice… but if you’d rather keep looking that’s OK too”– which is no help.)
Say to them “I really want you input on this as I want you happy and comfortable on the wedding day. Do you think that is possible in this dress, do you like them? please be honest”.

Madeleine Vionnet $100.00 Madeleine Vionnet’s greatest distinction as a designer was her discovery of the bias cut. Cutting patterns along the bias forces the fabric to cling to the body and move with it, which created her trademark look of draped, form-conscious clothing. When designer Issey Miyake first saw a Vionnet dress, it was like the first time he saw Winged Victory at the Louvre: “I thought then that the stat… |
