Strawberry Sorbet – True Vintage

Originally a bridesmaid dress worn by the bride’s sister, Strawberry Sorbet is now ready to steal the show. She’s the epitome of 1950s style – a tiny waist paired with a gloriously full ballerina-length skirt, made for twirling.

In a pretty shade of pink, the scalloped boned bodice (known as a “crumb catcher”) is finished with delicate shoestring straps. The fabric is a broderie anglaise-style organdie, giving the gown texture and depth, with layers of lining and starched petticoats creating that coveted 50s silhouette.

To top it all off, she comes with a removable matching bolero jacket featuring a high standing collar, a detail that screams 1950s chic. Whether worn as a wedding dress or repurposed as a prom gown, Strawberry Sorbet is pure vintage delight.

In remarkable condition for her age, she carries only a tiny, stubborn 1.5cm mark on the lower skirt – barely visible among the volume of fabric, and proof that she’s aged every bit as gracefully as the decade she came from.
