Short silk wedding dress with vintage lace bolero

Clementine had already her heart set on a short silk wedding dress when she came to see me. She also had some pretty spectacular Jimmy Choo’s from Pam Jenkins for us to work into her wedding outfit.

She also had a piece of lovely Chantilly lace which had served as the wedding dress lace for her late auntie.

We designed Clementine a short dress in silk douppion, it had a dropped waist boned bodice with internal
lace up and ruching to the one side and sweetheart neckline. The dress had a pleated skirt in the douppion silk.

We made a little bolero with Clementines lace. The lace was beautiful and very fine. We got a guipore lace trimming to finish the edges on it. and then there was a douppion silk band which finished a big bow at the
back of her dress.

Clementine had a bespoke veil from Mairi Brunning Millinery
