Bride in my bedroom

Details at deliadelia on etsy

Now I know the title of this might sound rather dubious, but that's what I've been playing at in this dress while trying to take some photographs for my etsy shop.
Alas, when I got married it was all rather too quick a register office affair, and what I wore didn't measure up against many of the more common species of wedding dresses, let alone a vintage beauty like this one.
I have since wished, and longed, and planned for a proper wedding, but that dream hasn't come true. It doesn't stop me though from parading around the bedroom in beautiful 1930s dresses and imagining how wonderful things could have been.
Or, more to the point, what a fantastic wedding a girl out there could have, swinging at the arm of a charming gentleman, or swipping everybody off their feet at a garden party...What do you think?

1920's to early 30's on Etsy

There was a discussion a little while ago over at fedora lounge about the gateway to vintage fashions. For many, it is the 50s, leading afterwards to a discovery and appreciation of earlier decades, in the never ending quest of finding the perfect look one's heart longs for.

What is going to make me beautiful then? My heart lies with 30s, whether there are the early, mid or late fashions of that decade. It is true though that the more I delve into vintage, the earlier I want to go. Lately it has been the late 1910's through the 20s to the very early 30s that have fired my imagination.

Bellow there are a few examples of what ticks the box for me nowadays.

This 1920s blouse from adelinesattic makes my heart sing:
