Vintage-Inspired Wedding Dresses: frequently asked questions
Are these real vintage dresses?
No. They are new designs inspired by vintage bridal style, made to your measurements after you order.
What makes a wedding dress look vintage?
Details like long lace sleeves, soft draped chiffon and slim column skirts. The Abbey top is our take on Victorian, with a long sleeve and a neckline built from the natural lace patterning, and the Muse skirt is a column-shaped chiffon skirt with a touch of vintage elegance.
Can I mix a vintage-style top with a different skirt?
Yes. The Abbey top, Muse skirt and Garden Muse skirt are separates, and the Garden Muse is for brides who love the Muse but want more texture and detailing. Explore pairings in our dress builder.
Can I bring a family dress or detail into my design?
Talk to your designer. One of our brides, Reenie, included a flower from her mother’s dress as a sentimental touch.
How much does a custom vintage-inspired wedding dress cost?
Lace & Liberty custom gowns range from $1,500 to $5,500, and most brides spend $2,000–$3,500. Customizations to an existing collection design start at $250. Get a personalized number with our price estimate.
