Vintage Wedding Dress...

On my second trip out Wedding Dress shopping I found this most fabulous Red 1950's cocktail dress. If it was white, it would be my wedding dress. I thought about wearing red, but I just kind of have my heart set on white. When else do you get a chance to get up in a fancy white dress. I had gone to my appointment at I Do Bridal on 45th in Wallingford, which is a lovely shop with very nice dresses and extremely fun and nice employees. I found a couple of ideas, but nothing that really grabbed me as 1950's. There was one tea length dress, but was really too encrusted in beads. I'm not such a beady person. So, after my appointment walked over to the Ave in the U-District and went to a few shops, one of them was the fab Redlight. That was where I found my dream red taffeta dress that fit like a dream! I took the dress downtown to Cicada, but will need to go back with it tomorrow and meet with the designer. I'm going to take this and some of my photos of 50's dresses and see what we can come up with. Fun!
