One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

High Society / Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord

Designed by Helen Rose, this is one of the iconic screen wedding dresses! It is made of silk organza and is "tea length" or "ballet length"--super popular in the 1950s. The sheer outer layer is covered with embroidered flowers and features billowing sleeves gathered just below the elbow, a pale pink ribbon belt, and a floral corsage at the waist. She doesn't wear a veil, but there's some suggestion of one in the drapery on the hat.

For comparison, the version from The Philadelphia Story is here. But I think I prefer this one--it's truly classic!

Trivia: Helen Rose also designed Grace Kelly's gown for her real-life wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco.
