I found this 1930's satin dress on Etsy that seems to be handmade. It will need altering to fit me but I'm very happy with it!

Now, I'm thinking about how to fill it out for a full bridal feel. I want to wear brown suede Mary Jane heels I already have. I attached a few photos of accessory ideas.

- I'm thinking of buying satin gloves and hemming a V on my hand so they are "fingerless". I've seen this style on 1930s-40s long sleeve dresses and I think it would feel more formal for the ceremony.

-I want a long dramatic veil, but don't know if tulle or lace would look better. Thinking finger or floor length. Cathedral if I'm feeling crazy.

- I want to wear a vintage inspired headpiece, either something beaded or floral like wax flowers to be a statement among all the kind of "plain" satin I've got going.

Any more tips to make it feel fully bridal and 30s inspired? Or any more info or guesses as to the exact year and origins of the dress? Thanks!!

What do we think? I found this 1930's satin dress on Etsy and had to try it in person. It will need altering to fit me but I'm very happy with it! It feels like me and I just picked a summer date so it can handle any weather.

Any more tips to make it feel fully bridal and less school dance? Thanks!!
