A Matter of Great Importance

As I hurtle at a rather fast pace towards 30 and still no perfect match in sight, I still hope one day to find the 'Perfect Kimberlee" Boy (aka PKB), get married and have at least four kids.

So - if the PKB turns up anytime soon I'd like to be prepared. For the wedding that is. Flicking through the brilliant array of international magazines one Saturday morning with Emma at Marmalade I came across a picture of this STUNNING CREATURE. Behold my wedding dress. The dress is actually a stunning muted mustard yellow colour - the above photo washes it out a bit. I'd probably have it made in ivory or champagne. But I could easily go the yellow. And I'd wear it short.

I can't remember where I found this photo on the Internet so sorry for not acknowledging its original source. But does anyone know what this dress is called/where I can get better photos of it? I've searched high and low and I know it featured in a book about Lanvin. Like I said, it is a matter of great importance, I'm not sure how much time I have, you never know when I might meet PKB.....

Sorry, can't help with your source but the dress is gorgeous! I'd wear it short too.

Am loving your blog - I'm a newbie too!

hello button! the dress is “Marjolaine” the "quintessential robe de style of Lanvin" from 1920.... the photo is one version of the front cover of the book 'Lanvin' written about and containing loads of photos from the House of Lanvin... I like the alternative book cover better myself

if i've got the right dress (?) you can see the rest of it on this link (see 'click here for more photos' - it's 5 of 8)
