Wedding Dress for Thalia

Simple ivory silk wedding dress by Felicity Westmacott

Thaila commissioned a simple wedding dress made up in ivory silk satin and georgette.The dress is cut princess-line with a sweet heart neckline and unstructured bodice. The softly a-line skirt in georgette extends to a puddle train at the back. The sleeves are unlined and cut with flared ends draping to a ‘medieval’ point.

The dress had a wrist loop so Thalia could hold the train up easily when she was outside. The same loop was used to ‘bustle’ the train in the evening for hands free ease of dancing.

Thalia wrote…?The wedding was perfect, and I loved the dress. It couldn’t have been better made. Thank you very much for doing such a great job. You will definitely hear from me again in the future. I am thinking of having a full length coat made around summer time for next winter, so I’ll get in touch around that time.

If you're living in the UK, even a lower income means you're one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Even if you work full time on (the UK) minimum wage, you're in roughly the top 4% of global earners. I know, it definitely doesn't feel like it.

When we spend money on sites like Temu or Shein, that money doesn't go to the workers making the clothes. It goes to a handful of billionaire owners and they don't need more unearned money. 

But there are simple things you can do, if that feels like something that doesn't sit right with you. 

Choosing a local maker, a small business, or even a second-hand piece keeps money circulating in real communities, going directly to the person who made it. It means sometimes being more selective about what you buy. Like buy fewer clothes, for example, but choosing things that are better quality and more likely to last anyway.

When life feels so hectic and stressful, it's hard to give any thought to things like this, but every little thought that leads to action is a change that makes a difference.

What are some changes you've been making to try and combat this capitalist hellscape?

The heat from this season of Bridgerton is really bringing to the forefront the beauty and chemistry of an older romance. 

There's something extra special about finding someone later on in life, as Lady Violet is showing us all. Someone who has lived a whole life before meeting you, who has their own baggage and their own wisdom. Combining all that with all your own experiences to make something truly profound.

It's always a joy to hear from older brides who have found their own Lord (or Lady) Marcus. So of course I had to celebrate all the gorgeous mature brides who have chosen me to help them look exactly the way they want to when their love stories took centre stage.

Are you watching Lady Violet's storyline? 💜
