Vintage style dress are back in the limelight so here is one for you to have a look at!
Toulouse by Claire PettiboneWhy I love it?
Of course you can't have a vintage style wedding dress without any lace however it is the little details that drew me to this dress.
First there are the little bows on the skirt. How cute are they! Not only they add details but the long tails will flutter nicely as you walk down the aisle.
And second, I love how the top part of the dress is constructed. You can see that the material used on the sleeve is the same fabric as the side and back of the dress. This adds a lovely continuity to the dress which shows off a little bit of the flesh without being too brazen.
NO NO NO NO NO!
Apart from having a flawless back to be able to wear this dress I think the only other issue would be the sort of legs needed to get away with the dress. As the bows are situated around the thigh area of the dress this will draw attention to this area therefore if you are in anyway self conscience of your legs then either get to the gym (boring), get a pair of leg shaping underwear (ugly) or choose another dress. The choice is yours.

At first glance it doesn't look too daring does it but look again!
Marigold by Jenny PackhamHave you noticed the back?
Why I love it!
I love this dress because of the back or be it the lack of the back. From the front, it looks like a simply halterneck dress with a little bit a detail on the neck however it has a plunging back which is just scandalous! Of course the little straps on the sides will prevent any embarrassing moments and it is those little details which I like!
This is certainly a dress where you can wear your hair up or down depending on how much coverage you want but it is simply divine.
Oh no this is not for meYep this is a dress that I personally could not wear because one I am short and two I don't have the slender figure to show off the dress as intended.
And apart from being white, you could be mistaken that this isn't a bridal dress at all which I know some people do not like.

I have always said that it is the wedding dress that should make you look good!
By all means go the the gym and tone up your muscles but this article from the Daily Mail is just worrying.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2143866/Starving-way-alter-Every-bride-wants-look-slim-big-day-doctors-fear-risking-long-term-health.htmlWhy were these brides driven to starve themselves to look good for one day of their life?
Did they believe it was normal for bride to be to look slim for their day?
It got me thinking about my experiences as it was only a few months ago when I had my mother telling me to get to the gym because I would look better toned up for my wedding. My mother keep telling me that I would look better if I lost a couple of inches here and there despite I was going to be wearing a corset and my skirt was going to be hiding any lumps and bumps on my lower half.
I resisted at all cost because I couldn't see the point of stressing about such a minor point and my husband himself said it was not needed as I will look good no matter what. And on the day I don't think I look too big, my corset made my waist to a nice 26 inch waist. This is my normal corseted waist so I wasn't in any pain if you were worried.
Where does this image of a slim bride comes from/?
I know every brides wants to look their best but please remember that looks is only skin deep and in the end of the day, you are marrying a person who will love you no matter how you look.

He was one of the designers that were considered for the Royal Wedding and you can see why with this dress!
Astrid by Bruce OldfieldWhy am I dreaming it?
If we forget about the lace which is hard to do when there is so much of it, I love the mermaid skirt which works well with how the lace drapes.
And then there is the collar which I have not seen before. It is a round neck upright collar which resembles something from one of the sci-fi anime that I have watched but this is good by the way. It adds an interesting twist to a dress which would have look traditional in every way.
No This is not the dress for me
I love this dress a lot but the only thing that makes me back off is the arms. They are very tight which for someone who has large upper arms is a bad thing because this will make them look bigger. Of course there is a high chance that this can be altered however the style of arms isn't something that I would go for.

I can't help myself but here is another Vera Wang creation! This is her
Spring 2013 collection and the colour is to die for!
Look 4 by Vera WangWhy do I love it!
If you look very carefully at the skirt you can see a mermaid dress silhouette underneath the honeycomb tulle skirt which means you get two skirts for the piece of one!
Then there is the corset bodice which will help the bride to look their very best on their special day. Why spend all your time in the gym to look good in a dress when you can get the dress to do all the work?
This will also be available in white and ivory as well by the way if you want something a bit more traditional.
Oh dear, maybe not!
I'm afraid this dress isn't good for the well endowed brides! The halterneck style top will just draw everybody's attention to this area and this may make you a bit self conscience. I know I would feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Also you will need to make sure you have a good set of shoulders because the halterneck will be covering up all of your chest so you will need to have something else to display.
Now I never had any problems with mermaid style skirts but if you are not comfortable in walking with your knee touching and do not feel like practising then opt for a skirt with less restriction.
