About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
Vintage Brides, Take Notice!
July 7th, 2008 @ 11:30 am by Miss Shortcake
Have you heard of Dolly Couture?
(Edmonton $375)
She offers affordable vintage reproductions of 1950s-1960s wedding gowns, and also offers custom-made dresses!
If I come into money in the next two weeks or so, I am SO ordering one these beauties for my going away dress!
Some of my favourites:
Pasadena $ 599
Los Cabos $375
Manhattan $349
Merin Country $449
So, yeah, umm, I am reduced into a quivering pile of drooling protoplasm.
Check out the rest at Dolly Couture!

Thanks! I fell in LOVE w/ Candy Anthony’s dresses and this designer is closer to wear I live 
@AliCherri1: I know! Candy Anthony’s dresses are unbelieveable - but so is trying to get a dress made and fitted in the UK while you’re in North America!
Funny story - My mom took my sister France last Spring and they didn’t invite me to go to b/c, quote, “they didn’t think I’d want to go” PLEAH-EEES! So my mom said she would take me somewhere I wanted to go and last week I said I wanted to go to England to get a Candy Anthony dress hahahahaha… I think she owes me 
P.S. I totally doubt that is will happen, I’m not that spoiled.
Oooh cute! I love the detail on the bottom of the “Hastings on Hudson” dress.
@AliCherri1: wouls that be awesome though? Now might be the time to start laying on some sugar!
@Miss Shortcake: Totally!
Shortcake this is one of the most amazing finds I have ever seen. I agree with AliCherri1, they remind me a lot of Candy Anthony, and even Stephanie James. But the prices are much much better.
Do you think I would have as much fun as the girls in the photo seem to be having while wearing these dresses?
@jnicholea/thatbride: THANK you so much for pointing out Stephanie James! I hadn’t heard of her and she is 15 min from my office! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
i LOOKED AND LOOKED for affordable, beautiful short dresses, and found nothing worthwhile, and then once i order a full length model you show me THESE?!
i love you, miss shortcake, but you break my heart sometimes.
@jnicholea/thatbride: I think you would have to - I couldn’t see anyone wearing one of those dresses and not twirling around ecstatically!
@AliCherri1: where were you when I wrote this post, hey, hey?
Mrs Flamingo wrote about her too:

But seriously, you better show us your dress is you get one from Anthony/James/Dolly! 
@sdjaxies:
I am so sorry, but does it help that I found them after I found my dress too?
*passes the tissues*
Wow! If I didn’t already have my dress, I would so be looking into this!
@Miss Shortcake: In a hole 
I hadn’t learned about Weddingbee yet, and thus it wasn’t part of my daily obsession.
Stephanie James sells her dresses at a shop seriously 2 mins from my office too (Mon Amie)! I plan on going over there on my next free lunch break (my birthday is tomorrow so my lunches are filled w/ ppl taking to out right now, I know so sad hahaha) to check them out and touch one
[…] Miss Shortcake posted about Dolly Couture and I had found someone closer to my ‘hood, LA County, YAY!!! […]
