Lace evening dresses go all the way back to Victorian times though touches of lace were often added to evening dresses before then. It’s the tiny details in the lace that make the fabric so attractive. It’s hard to match the elegance and femininity of lace, especially when worn by a bride. Lace dresses often need a petticoat slip to enhance them and a crinoline slip gives fullness, but be careful if dancing at the wedding reception after the ceremony.

Many genuine vintage evening gowns have seldom been worn so, if professionally cleaned, will often look like new. Don’t be afraid to consider a dress that a woman has found joy in wearing before you. You might even pass it on to someone else in future! Not every bride can find, or wants, a truly vintage dress but vintage-style evening dresses are also popular. Vintage dresses may be made from man-made fiber or old-fashioned lace made from natural materials. The more lace in the wedding dress, the grander and more opulent it looks. Even the plainest of dresses can be transformed with lace. Lace can be added to any part of the dress. The lace may be cover the whole dress, or just be on the bodice or the skirt. It might be that you prefer to have lace just on the sleeves or at the throat. No matter which you choose, it’s certain to look charming. Lace can also be used to embellish the veil, the gloves and even the shoes. Your lace wedding gown can have beautiful detail with sequins and beading on the skirt or possibly just round the waist. Other embellishments are perhaps pearls with maybe a rhinestone flower at the waistline. Lace makes any bride look radiant, it adds beauty and the serenity that comes with beauty, and you will look like a princess in your lace wedding dress. Your entrance should have the effect of stunning the guests into silence or hushed whispers of admiration, so enter slowly. Pause for a deep breath outside if you feel the need. Your escort up the aisle, perhaps your father, should wear dark clothes to enhance the contrast with your lace wedding dress. Lace wedding dresses can be found in both modern and vintage styles. Some brides even search out genuine vintage wedding dresses. You must choose whether to wear something traditional and modest or modern and more sophisticated. Allow your true personality to shine through here. Don’t wear anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, though do be sure to pick a wedding dress that flatters your face and figure. The camera can be very unkind! If the holes in the lace are very big, be careful not to move too quickly or you’ll tear the dress. This is more common in vintage evening dresses. Vintage evening dresses were made before nylon was invented, so they are softer but can be more fragile than the modern ones. Be wary of lace at the seams inside a modern dress, as these can chafe if made of nylon or other stiff fabric.
