Ivory satin vintage doll's wedding dress
Regular readers of the blog may have seen my story last week of a lovely charity shop find of a child's suitcase containing a cache of vintage dolls' clothes dating back to the 1940s/50s. Judging by her wardrobe, the owner of these tiny dresses led a life of giddy hedonism. No practical pant-suits or shirt-waisters for her, but a very extensive collection of jewel-bright satin ballgowns.
Ivy's little suitcase also contained quite a number of intricately stitched bridal gowns. What's the story here? Obviously a string of broken engagements and forlorn suitors jilted at the altar.......

I am looking for a pattern maker and a dressmaker who can make a twenties style dress for me to wear at my son's wedding.
