Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 29″Meticulously constructed tea length wedding dress in satin classic leopard print with warm brown and black spots on a cream background color.
Dress may be worn with or with out strap.
Our charming Wing Bust style was made after careful study of an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. We have customized it by adding more boning around the entire bodice and a dramatic dropped waist. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust whimsical and dramatic.
“Wings” can also be worn standing straight up or turned up to show the silk shantung contrast inside! You can also order, at a small additional charge, two couture hand-made bows to use at the base of the straps, as shown in several of our other dresses.
Crinoline in the photos is not included but we’ll tell you where to purchase the most vintage-authentic crinoline available today at a terrific price.
With a veil or fascinator, shoes and petticoat in white, you’ll be so “bridal” you’ll make leopard into a wedding classic!

Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 29″The “gravity defying sleeves” teeter dangerously on the outermost edges of your shoulders in the style made so popular by Elizabeth Taylor. This heavy cotton fabric -kissed with just a whisper of silver metallic- is woven for us locally to our specifications. It’s as heavy as brocade, rich-looking and genuine.
Our “Peggy Would’ bodice is engineered for unstoppable cling and has slinky draping diagonally downwards across front leading to a focal point at the waist.
The sarong skirt draping goes upwards creating a sideways “V” that could not be more flattering and creates the look of a waist even smaller than it really is (not that 27 isn’t small!)
Slim-fitting, 3/4-length sleeves.

Bust: 35 (a little smaller ok)
Cup Size: The bodice draping on this style is adaptable and fits most cup sizes except for exceptionally large breasts. Please inquire if unsure
Waist: 27
Torso length: Cut for a woman of average height
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 29″Inspired by the dress young Liz Taylor wore when she married Mike Todd, the one man about whom she said in her later years was “the love of her life”.
Liz just loved this type of neckline and wore it during her most beautiful years. It has the widest possible V in both the front and back of the dress. With a petite frame, the extra wide v-neck made her waist look smaller and showed all that luscious, creamy skin women have around their shoulder tops and at the upper chest. Marvelously sensual without having to careen deeply down into the cleavage.
Our “gravity-defying sleeves” teeter dangerously on the outermost edges of your shoulders- no small engineering feat 🙂
Slim-fitting, long sleeves are so tapered that you use buttons to open them at the bottom so the fabric with skim your wrists. Dress is lined.
Dress can be worn with the matching belt (included) that we make using the hand-carved mother of pearl buckle that we have custom-made for us which is a faithful copy of one we found in an antique shop.
We were THRILLED to find this heart breakingly gorgeous, Japanese 100% rayon with tiny flowers woven into the motif in a soft cream tone for our tea length wedding dresses. It looks like a vintage kimono rayon (if you have ever seen how beautiful those fabrics are in person!)
