Madra Lord as a 1943 war bride!?! Only in the movies, my dear.
Monolithic Studio's film diva Miss Madra Lord makes a pensive war bride wearing Integrity's "Town and Country" taupe suit. The original buttons were replaced with beaded ones. Accessories include the wonderful 2-tone shoes from D.A.E. Originals, gloves and floral corsage from Ashton Drake, brooch and fur muff from Integrity.
Pool Pose Madra Lord from Integrity tops her suit with a delightful feathered hat from The Couture Touch. And tucked inside her muff....a prayer book.

In warm weather, wartime brides often wore dresses instead of traditional suits. Two-piece dresses that looked like suits were a popular choice.

Your mother looked very beautiful on her wedding day! The pictures are lovely, love them all. Madra's outfit looks great, as you said, she makes a sweet movie bride (I don't think Madra would marry in "real doll life", she's waaay to independent for marriage :-D).
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment Nymphaea. I'm sure I am pushing the envelope for even Madra to accept a movie role as a "bride". LOL. Melissa
