This beautiful French corded 1950’s vintage- inspired lace dress has become and instant hit!  We had been working on a full lace dress since January and knew that we wanted to use this same lace that is optional with The Grace Kelly in The Collection.  We quietly added it to The Cabaret Collection a couple of months ago and it received a fantastic response and immediate orders.  It comes in Ivory or Antique lace and lining with a wide or narrow sash.  It is available, in sizes 0 – 14, off the rack when in stock, by order in 8 weeks, and soon online.  Please call or email if you have any questions.

We have wanted this dress in the Cabaret Collection since the beginning and have finally created it.  It took several attempts to get it just right, but we are thrilled with it.  It is a light-as-air delight, made of silk organza and available in several colours, size 0 – 14.  We wanted a breezy compliment to the very popular Bijou.   It is available off the rack when in stock, by order in 8 weeks, and soon online.  Please call or email if you have any questions.

We always love the opportunity to do something creative for Stylemepretty.com.  This time we got to work with an outstanding team to bring this incredibly sweet and romantic photo story to life.  Please view all the photos here.  The shoot features our 1950’s Pink Ribbon Vintage Dress, The Jolie, ivory silk organza dress, from The Cabaret Collection, and two Men’s vintage suits.

As with most of the dresses in our Cabaret Collection, this piece is principally sold in a lush poi de soie.  It gives a shimmering richness that we love, not to mention being so plush to touch.  Usually one of the first comments from women who try on Cabaret Collection dresses is “Its so soft on!”. Well if you are going to look stunning, why not feel comfortable as well?

This particular dress is a bit of a transformer with a variety of different looks that can be achieved with additional accessories.  the bow pictured at the side can be moved to the other side or the centre of the bustline.  For an even more minimal look it can even be removed completely.  Pictured above is the dress with a short train.  When paired with the dress it gives an almost flower-like silhouette with striking bold lines.  It can be ordered at the short length shown, or gown-length so it sweeps the floor.  For a wedding a longer train would look lovely walking down the aisle.  However for later during the reception removing the train, or a shorter one may be more practical for a bride who may be cutting up the dance floor.

Though we have received a great response from brides-to-be for our Cabaret Collection dresses, never forget that all of our designs are also available in a rainbow of colours for any women having to attend an event that would love to add a touch of vintage-inspired beauty for their look.  This particular dress looks absolutely stunning in Onyx (in fact we will be posting pictures of it over the next few days.)

For the second year in a row, Toronto Life Magazine as included Cabaret Vintage in their Wedding Guide! We are honored to be included and you can get your copy of this special edition on newstands right now.

StyleMePretty.com is a fantastic resource for inspiration when wedding planning.  We were honored to be invited to provide looks for a Bohemian-inspired wedding shoot by A Simple Photograph featuring fantastic rentals by Hazlitt Vintage Rentals.  The whole tone of the shoot was brought to life by vintage props and pieces and the rustic outdoor atmosphere was truly a unique experience.

Cabaret Vintage Toronto styled our models, Katie and Eric.  Cabaret is a vintage clothing company that has been known to style a wedding or two in their day!  Most of what they carry in their shop is authentic vintage clothing, but they also have designed a wedding line that is modern but vintage inspired (http://www.cabaretvintage.com/category/bridal-the-cabaret-collection-wedding-dresses/) .  Tao provided Katie with elements of both old and new!  She wore three bridal looks though out the shoot.

The first was “The Baby Doll”.   A vintage inspired gown that Tao paired with a black velvet cape circa 1960.  The second was a beaded shift dress, which I believe was also a 1960′s gown.  This was paired with a vintage mink and finally Katie wore the dress she sported at her own wedding to Eric earlier this year, “The Soiree”.  This is also a vintage inspired dress that Tao paired with yet another mink.  Katie was gorgeous!  Eric’s look was masculine rugged and bohemian.

Hello there,

I just wanted to say a big thank you for selling me such a fantastic dress.  I came in mid-August and was in a bind.  I had ordered a dress online, and it didn’t show up, and my wedding was two days away.  I found this gorgeous dress in your shop, and it was a dream come true.  It was better then my original.  I’ve had noting but compliments on it, and I’ve been adamant about telling people where I got it ;o)

Attached are a few photos from our wedding day.  My photographer, Scarlet O’Neill was extremely inspired by it.

Thank you again,

Rachel
