Vintage. Classic. Timeless. There is just something about [some] “old stuff” that I find irresistible. This especially holds true in the world and history of weddings. I saw a post over at Peonies and Polaroids about retro swim wear (which I really wish could come completely back into fashion) which has inspired this post. I hope you like it.

Very Nice Photo
The first retro dress pattern is the one my grandmother used to make her wedding dress (the short one) and bridesmaids dresses. We still have the pattern and I might be using it to make my wedding dress for next May!
I LOVE, love, love, that last dress!!!
