Bodice Coming off the skirts and realizing they are simply fabric layers trimmed out, the bodice seems difficult, most obviously, because fit is HUGE when it comes to sewing a bodice
This dress is also fully lined, which was a nice touch
This short wedding dress with sleeves has the most gorgeous Bardot neckline carefully crafted into a satin bow and fluted cuffs for added glam
Designed by MGM costume designer Gilbert Adrian, with whom Crawford (and other stars) would continue to work with on- and off-screen for years, the dress diverged from the body-skimming dresses the public had become used to in the early thirties
Featuring a halter neck with 3d floral details embroidered with pearls all over the dress, including the detachable overskirt, gloves & veil
They work better for evening events than casual daytime gatherings
