We’ve been feeling a tad nostalgic

A real treat for you now if you’re still on the lookout for the perfect dress: the brand new 2011/2012 Nostalgia collection from Suzanne Neville.

I absolutely adore this range. Suzanne has always known how to dress the female form – her cuts are classic and her trademark corsetry and delicate fabrics are beautifully flattering over curves. This collection is no exception. It was unveiled to buyers and press last month at HM Tower of London, at an intimate show in the Fusilier’s Building inside the historic tower.

Inspired by the golden ages of glamour, Suzanne has successfully taken the best parts of 1930s and ’40s fashion and mixed them with chic contemporary details that’s perfect for the modern-day bride. Here are some of my favourites from the collection below…

The Nostalgia collection includes lots of elegant draping and luxurious satin fabrics. I just love the dress above. Its perfect cut, amazing neckline and sleeve details are somewhat reminiscent of old silver screen goddesses Great Garbo and Sophia Loren.

The collection also features lots of full layered skirts, French lace jackets that are great for eveningwear, and hand embroidery. I love the beading on this dress.

Suzanne has managed to combine classic cuts and fabrics, such as French lace and silk chiffon, with interesting sleeve and neckline details to give each one a contemporary edge. As the Duchess of Cambridge and Lily Allen have both recently shown; sleeves are back, and brides are moving away from the once-popular strapless dresses.

Enjoy!
