That dress

The bus passes a shop called Angie Seymour Silks, which specialises in made to measure designer dress making – very covetable examples are displayed in the window.

Some time ago – just around the time of the royal wedding, I meant to write about a wedding dress which seemed to signal the return of modesty & decorum – very Victorian in style, palest pink with a silver thread, full-skirted, boat neckline & long sleeves.

Today I noticed they have something very similar to that maid of honour's dress on display – same elegant column & draped neckline, but in a darkish cream rather than white & looking (through two sets of glass, in the bus & the shop windows) more crepe than satin. Can’t see the back view, so can’t say if that all important line of buttons is there.

I wonder if it is more likely to be chosen by brides or bridesmaids?
