There is something to be said about the understated sensuality of fashion in the 1940′s and 50′s. The calf-skimming hemlines represented the start of a new
era of fashion, where a little leg went a
long way in revealing the beauty of the
female body. A tea-length wedding dress represents the same idea of a bride
showing skin in a way that is unconven-
tional yet tasteful. This length not only
adds a vintage glamour to the occasion,
but also affords the opportunity to make
a big statement with the wedding shoe.
As weddings evolve and standing out is
becoming more important, a dreamy
vintage wardrobe lends a certain
intimacy and timelessness to the
celebration.
