Vintage style dress handmade by The Vintage Dressmaker

You may recognise the fabric as being one of my designs i've had printed onto dupion silk and silk organza. The dress is hand made by yours truly for a special birthday i've got coming up.

As always the dress is custom made to measure with a calico toile made in order to perfect the fit. The design is reminiscent of Dior's 1950's 'New Look' with nipped in waist and full gathered skirt. The neckline is just within the bounds of decency as it would be a shame not to 'enhance' and flatter a few curves! Finally, the broach is a vintage find from a lovely shop near Waddington
