I've still got dozens of sewing patterns of identical gowns that I made in the late 1980s and early 1990s ... so I've got hand on experience of knowing that this one is very true to its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eIt's in ivory silk dupion (weren't they all??) and has a basque waist - again another detail that nails this one to its period. And, if there was still any doubt, it has leg o' mutton sleeves, fastens on the back and sleeves with covered domes buttons and has contrast embroidery down the centre panel and either side of the back buttons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eThe embroidery is in a taupe colour and reminds me of a medieval, renaissance vibe - so perfect for a celtic inspired or outdoor woodland ceremony - but equally at home in a church or country house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eA real trip down memory lane for me. I love it as it is - but you could also remove the sleeves if they overwhelmed you ... and if you were brave enough cut it into a mini!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eAllison Blake was a smalll but very high quality label which is evidenced by the workmanship of this glorious wedding dress. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eIt's in great condition bar a couple of stubborn but now very faint marks on the skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tricker Bridal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52945089823062,"sku":"AB1443IV","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/2619\/3494\/files\/IMG_8267_fbb72ecd-d536-4efd-b2ac-31739d1478ec.jpg?v=1783604196","url":"https:\/\/trickerbridal.com\/products\/basque-affair","provider":"Tricker Bridal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
