Features of Vintage Wedding Gown:
1.Simple or elaborate
The patterns belonging to the 1940s era witnessed a deep impact of World War II. Dresses were simple and functional because of severe restrictions on the usage of fabric. However, brides in the pre-war and post-war period wore elaborate wedding gowns with full skirts and heavy embellishments.

2.Bodice, necklines and waistlines
The bodice on wedding gowns in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s featured a loose fit. It was low waist and gathered. The neckline was high and usually sported a collar. Style changes were introduced in the 1930s. The waist was raised slightly and the necklines were lowered.

3.The long sleeve
Traditional brides aimed at creating a modest, conservative look. Hence, the long sleeves. Gibson sleeves, puffy along the arm and tight at wrist, were popular not only for wedding gowns but other attire as well. Another widely followed style was the bridal point sleeve.

4.Long skirt
Typically, the dresses were long. The hemlines grazed the ankle or the floor. The short dress becomes popular in the 1940s. It wasn't exactly a dress but a skirt suit that hit at or below the knees. Some dresses had asymmetrical flutter hems.

5.Embellishments
Embellishments were few. Lace detailing, Chantilly lace, become the rage with the close of the World War II. On some gowns, the sleeves were made of lace or sheer white cloth. The dresses were embellished with lace motives. Gowns were fitted with metallic zippers. Before the metal zippers came to be used, buttons were used to secure the dress at the back.
