The final piece in our decades collection, the '1970' silk jersey gown with draped kimono cut and vintage corsage detailing.
The dress has a loose cut that is then cinched at the waist and can be worn with a plunging neckline to the waist. We love the styling of the seventies boho brides from our inspiration page and the gorgeous Bianca Jagger. With this relaxed sexy style, hair can be soft and un-done and collections of jewellery in the form of delicate bangles, chains and rings can add further detail.

This dress is part of our 2016 bridal collection and can be bespoke made to order from our studio. Click the images for more info and please contact us with any questions or to book a viewing.

The 1960s is the space age, modernist era with short skirt lengths, modern fabrics and conceptual cuts. I love the cape back styles and smooth wool fabrics that look modern but are still natural. Couture designers such a Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent for Dior created the most beautiful designs with sculptural cuts.

I love the Hollywood weddings of the 1960s, the dresses are so chic and understated. Quite the opposite of the traditional big white wedding dress.
