While designer Jessica McClintock revived the Prairie Gown with her Gunne Sax line in the seventies, the more haute couture versions of Prairie came to us through the stunning creations of British designer, Laura Ashley. She used finer imported cottons and voiles//

Great shots, these old designs have a certain something!
Dear Amy-Jo,
Lovely gowns, even though you did not design them!
The veil worn by the bride in the Christian Dior gown us absolutely breathtaking. The “modernist/monastic bridal gown” is different, and to me, absolutely striking. It would be a wonderful gown for the right bride.
Regards,
Sheila
Some of these dresses are really nice and inspired me a lot other and a bit of change and they can do wonders in 90s style and make you look a stylish bridal chic
