About MeThis wedding dress follows the very fashionable 'flapper' style that was popular with evening wear of the period. Dresses often featured low, almost non-existent waistline. Scalloped, and lace petal-edged skirts, were also popular, as were asymmetrical trimmings and draping’s. Most brides of the 1920s chose shorter wedding dresses, their length fluctuating from ankle-length to calf-length, like this one.
