Tips to choose Vintage Wedding Dresses
If you’ve always admired the elegance of the bygone era, and you’d like to choose a stunning outfit for your wedding, you may go for vintage dresses. Vintage wedding dresses are available in a variety of styles. This article provides you with the tips to choose the best vintage dress for your wedding.
Tips to choose the best vintage wedding dress:
When you choose a vintage dress, make sure you check the measurements, as these dresses are sized differently compared to the size of the dress you usually wear. That’s because people are heavier than they used to be thirty years ago. So, sizes of such dresses may be smaller.
In that case, you can get help from a creative seamstress to make the dress slightly bigger. If you’re buying vintage wedding dresses from an online store, you’ll find the measurements already mentioned on their websites. So, you can easily check and get your dress altered if required.

Another thing to consider when buying a vintage dress is whether there are deep stains on it. Sometimes, there may be buttons missing; it is really hard to find the right substitutes for such buttons. In these cases, you should choose some other vintage wedding dresses.
If you find vintage dresses that are delicate to handle because of their old fabrics, you may simply go for a reproduction of that dress using other fabrics. In addition, you can have vintage laces and decorative items or designs added to your dress. It’ll make your dress long lasting as well as give it the romantic look you desire.
Now, when you choose the vintage dress, make sure it matches the theme of your wedding. For instance, if the wedding theme is Victorian, you should go for a sweet and quaint dress. Make sure the dress has puffed sleeves along with high necks. But if you’re looking for something that matches the style of the seventies and eighties, then you should go for flamboyant colors.

Vintage Wedding Dress Photos
There was a rack of used wedding dresses between the size 4-6 and size 8 racks left untouched. I first just looked through for fun, then I looked again with the crazy idea of trying them on. I had nothing to lose, and I had to at least try on one dress. Here's the vintage dress that stole my heart...

I was really caught up in the moment. So many people were looking at me, and I didn't get much time to figure out what was going on. I had a video camera pointed at me along with a few digital SLRs snapping away. The dress fit like a glove. I'm 5'3 and weigh about 110 lbs, and the measurements were all spot on. I walked to the register with this gorgeous wedding dress in hand, but there was no price on the red tag. Dresses were advertised starting at $50 for used gowns and up to $300 for designer sample dresses. The cashier talked to another worker, and here's the price...

Later at night I was able to finally take my vintage gown out of the plastic garment bag. The dress is in impeccable condition. I can't give you one flaw. The previous owner did such an amazing job taking care of this dress. I believe that the original color of the dress is ivory, and there has been no yellowing due to exposure to sunlight. There are no watermark stains or anything. It just requires some steaming at the ends, but other than that it is perfect.
