If you know any brides who are still trying to decide what they should wear when they walk down the aisle, you might want to point them toward the beautiful vintage wedding dress patterns they can find listed below.
One of my favorite things to do as a little girl was sneak into my parents’ closet and take a look at my mom’s gown fromtheir wedding day.Like she did with most of her clothes back then, she stitched the lovely satin fabric together herself.
It definitely inspired me when I started daydreaming about what I might wear for my own big day. Luckily, I still have plenty of time to figure that out andthere are clearly plenty of options from the past to choose from, as you can see for yourself.
Take a look and let us know if we missed any vintage wedding dress patterns you remember seeing brides wear back in the day.

The headpiece isn’t actually included in this otherwise quaint retro option.
