Here Comes The Dress- I Mean Bride

November 26th is our 16th wedding anniversary.  I shared our engagement here.  So now it seems appropriate to share our wedding.  There are many great things about our wedding and my dress was definitely one of them.  I have always believed it to be from the 1930's, but I base that mainly on instinct.  Who would think a dress that zips up in the front could be so beautiful!?  The pictures hardly do it justice.



Mav bought it for me in Hollywood at a little vintage shop called Golyester that then was on Melrose. When I tried it on-I tried on a few, the look on his face told me it was the one.  The saleswomen could tell too.  They loved us and insisted we send them a wedding picture.  I think we did.  I show a copy of the receipt,  can you believe that price?  I have seen half the dress at double the cost recently.  Although at the time it seemed like a lot to me and I remember thinking I couldn't afford it, but of course Mav bought it for me.

  1. Happy Anniversary to you both!

    That is one beautiful dress! The 30's or early 40's would be my guess.

    My husband went dress shopping with me too but the salespeople weren't as understanding. They couldn't understand why the groom was involved.
