If I were aiming for a retro-styled wedding, I know exactly where I’d look for my dress.
I love Santephie James, not just because she does custom work, not just because she gives women the opportunity to love their body (she has a large range of sizes), but because these dresses are vintage-inspired dream.
I almost wish I was planning a sock-hop inspired wedding, or something with a retro feel, because I would simply HAVE to order.
Aside from that, look at this gorgeous cut-out back and (swoon!) this fantastic ostrich shrug. Love it!

I love the dresses in the pictures; thank you for mentioning the designer! The only dress I found so far (by browsing online) is Grace Kelly by Maggie Sottero

Where could I find the tea length retro dress with the pink bow? I am getting married within the next year and when I saw this dress I fell head over heels for it. Please let me know where to find it.

When I clicked on the link, it took me to a website for a jazz flutest named Stephanie James…you might want to look into this.

Stephanie James‘ website has been updated since I wrote this post in 2008 – thanks for the heads up, I updated the URL!
