Affordable Vintage From Lizzie O
A VINTAGE inspired wedding gown for the modern-day bride at the remarkable price of £395 has been unveiled by creative womenswear designer, Lizzie O.
The dramatic Elizabeth puff-sleeved dress - made from 100 per cent silk satin - has been added to Lizzie O's ornate 2013 collection, which includes handmade pieces of vintage kimono fabric made between 1930 and 1980.
Lizzie O said: "I fell in love with this dress when I made it in black for evening wear, and thought how lovely it would be with a few changes if I made it into a wedding dress. It is a very pretty 1930s vintage inspired dress. It features a very flattering V-neckline; a puff sleeve; nips into the waist; and a belt that ties beautifully into a pretty bow at the back - it flows to the bottom with a dramatic fishtail split.
"I would say it's a dress for a modern bride, the pieces I'm making for the future bridal collection are not traditional wedding dresses, but they have a vintage style. I want to mix the old with the new by combining the wedding style with a vintage feel. This dress is a taster of what's to come from my new bridal range."
The modestly priced gown, which is zipped at the back and fully lined in habotai silk, is available off the peg through Lizzie O's website for £395 and bespoke for £445.
All of Lizzie O's Japanese-themed collection - which includes boleros, bomber jackets and shrugs - is available through the Lizzie O website www.lizzieoboutique.com. Prices range from £55 to £400.
