Where could I find a wedding dress that is 50's inspired?

Asked by IBERnineD (7324points) November 20th, 2008

I love Greta Garbo, Bridget Bardot, Sophia Lauren, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Becall, and Elizabeth Taylor -esque fashion. I would love a wedding dress designed inspired by those women. Any help?

That depends where you live.

There’s always Ebay.

This is a good site: http://www.candyanthony.com/index.htm

They have an “album” section which shows pictures of different women being married in some of the dresses, along with a “catwalk” section of wedding dresses.

Check out http://www.cherishedonline.com/ they have a bunch of really nice dresses. You might consider joining the forum at Offbeat Bride (http://offbeatbride.com/) those ladies have a ton of suggestions for any type of wedding you can think of. I know for sure there’s a lot of info and ideas for a rockabilly wedding. None of the snooty attitudes found on other wedding forums.
