Tea, Knee and Short Wedding dresses

Whether it’s a fifties flirt or a demure tea-gown, shorter dresses have had a real come-back recently and it makes a change from always dealing with full length and trains! Here is a selection of dresses I have made where the bride has opted to show off her pretty ankles – or more!

Informal Wedding Dress for Lou:?Lou commissioned a simple Kimono style dress in soft sand-coloured silk satin to wear for her wedding day with a midi/tea-length skirt.?The dress has a high boat-neckline and is loose fitting but pulled in at the waist by a sash.

Wedding Dress and Veil for Angie: Angie wanted something really different for her wedding: as an older bride she wanted to feel extravagant special without wearing a long white dress. Together we created the design for this tea length dress in torn layers.

Wedding Dress for Tracey:?The two piece outfit made in deep red silk velvet has a firmly boned bodice cut in a ‘Tudor’ style with a ‘flat front’. The pencil skirt is fitted to the knee then flaring to mid-calf and supported by ivory netting.

Wedding Dress for Ellie: Gorgeous Ellie was married in Vegas on Halloween and her dress was a wonderful mixture of fifties shape,?modern styling and subtle Halloween detail.
