Amanda's wedding dress

Amanda's wedding dress

This is my gorgeous editor, Amanda Carmen Cromer (Amanda edited A Life in Frocks and just finished work on Minxy Vintage).

I’ll let her tell you about these images:

This was my grandmother’s 18th birthday frock, crafted in 1932 by their family seamstress. Silk, hand-stitched, and too big in the waist and bust for me, I had an open back created after taking in the fabric. She died aged 94, on my birthday – and I met my husband after her funeral, so I didn’t really think of wearing anything else!
