Antique Old World Ethereal Beauty Wedding Gown

The lovely owner of Garbo Vintage, Yvonne Correa Plaza, offered to take photos of me in her most treasured pieces. Above and below, a 1920's wedding gown in ivory silk and antique lace. A dress that truly makes a woman feel like a Goddess ...♥. Yvonne had another wedding dress in a unique beautiful turquoise aqua color; probably colored from the original ivory into a party dress after the wedding. Ah the practicality of the 1940's... It fitted beautifully with an antique piano shawl in turquoise, with coral roses...

 A real darling was also this pearl-encrusted satin vintage evening bag ♥.

... and other vintage tresors...♥. Richly decorated details... In satin, silk, tulle, leather, fur... Garbo Vintage is a real treasure trove. The more you dig, the more treasures come up. The jacket is ocelot. Like something straight out of Aladdin's cave... I loved (and bought) these long ivory colored 1920's shammy gloves with tiny buttons... Too luxurious, and in perfect shape. Ah. Yvonne's most precious piece (at least one of them) is this 19th century wedding gown in silk and handmade lace, with a long divine train... It is so gorgeous form all angles; below, from the back: To top it all, the simple silk dress on the inside can be worn separately, after: Soooooo yummy... Every vintage boutique must have at least a little bit of Audrey in it... ...a little something from the legendary Savile Row...

... and a little something for the Charleston...♥.

And our investigative reporter signs over and out, sounding a little bit like a cat who just had a very full bowl of cream.. ~*♥*~
