â€¢ Luscious materials such as silk organza are used for the gown.
â€¢ Bolero jackets were at the height of style during the 1950's and were worn over sleeveless dresses.
â€¢ Most of the dresses have Basque waistlines, which particularly suits those who want a dress that will hide anything less than a flat stomach.
â€¢ The skirts to the dresses are very full and most of them require you to wear a separate petticoat to accentuate the fullness.
â€¢ If you want to accessorize the gown with a 1950's style head dress, then veils tended to be attached to "clamp style" hats, worn very close to the head.

These gowns evoke a poetic feeling of the Victorian era and the "princess bride" will feel at home in the styles inspired by this theme. Bustled skirts pick up ball gowns and ruched sheers all help to reinforce opulence, in fabrics such as tissue taffeta, satin Lamour, organza and lace. Antique beading and thread work, with a mixture of silver and gold tones add sparkle to the dress. This romantic wedding gown style is best captured in a beaded lace corset gown featuring a chapel train, and pick-up skirt.

Bridal jewelry and tiaras boast combinations of crystals and pearls, setting a graceful tone. Closed toe and peek-a-boo shoes also add an air of romance and mystique to the dress.
