Meet 'Colette', the perfect cover-up for a vintage lace wedding dress.

Dear Reader,

Allow me to introduce 'Colette', my new vintage lace bolero.

1. Vintage lace bolero 'Colette', worn over 'Butterfly' vintage lace wedding dress
Colette is the perfect cover-up for a vintage wedding dress. Many wedding dresses are backless, like the 'Butterfly' dress it is shown with here. This is gorgeous for the party, but brides often wish to be a little more 'modest' for the ceremony itself. 

This chic bolero is the perfect solution: it slips over your vintage dress to prettily cover any exposed skin for the more formal part of the day. It can then be slipped off later to show off your glamorous dress!

2. BUTTERFLY vintage lace wedding dress, with champagne slip
In pictures 1 and 5, it's worn over the Butterfly dress. Like the dress, Colette is constructed from the wonderful Nottingham lace I wrote about last week, made by a family firm to their original pattern - and now exclusive to my Heavenly CollectionAnd for even more luxury, it is then edged in delicate French lace.

4. BUTTERFLY vintage lace wedding dress, with ivory slip

Butterfly comes with a satin underslip, in four colour options. It's shown here with a pale gold satin slip (pics 1 & 5), champagne slip (pic 2), cappucino (3), and ivory (4, above). You can see how each one subtly alters the look of the dress. It also makes this dress incredibly flattering to a whole range of skin tones.

5. Vintage lace bolero 'Colette', price from £250

Colette is designed to work over many different styles, and looks equally wonderful over a satin dress. It can be made in a choice of different laces, to ensure it perfectly complements your own vintage wedding dress. Colette is available now priced from £250 (with dress), £295 (on its own). If you'd like to see more, please do contact me.

I do hope you will love it. Thanks for stopping by my vintage wedding blog to take a look!
