June Bride, 1935

Molyneux designed this stunning silk crepe bridal gown in 1935.  The long veil is of the same fabric.  Sculpted wax flowers adorn the front of the neckline and cap.

Weekend Eye Candy - Molyneux Wedding Gown, 1936

The second of our June brides this year wears a pleated crepe gown by Molyneux from 1936.

Weekend Eye Candy - Molyneux, 1925

Molyneux fashions the perfect summer frock for Spring, 1925.  Turquoise silk crepe is accented with beautiful tape lace in the two-tiered skirt and sleeves.  Note on the hat how the ribbon is attached under the brim instead of on top, where you'd expect. 

Weekend Eye Candy - Molyneux, 1931

A white crepe backed satin afternoon dress has a pleated skirt. Worn with a black velvet coat trimmed in lynx fur. Both pieces by Molyneux, 1931.

Weekend Eye Candy - Molyneux 1931

Molyneux designed this green straw wide brimmed hat in 1931. I love the way the sunshine dapples the model's face through the open weave of the straw. I also love the fact that Molyneux has decorated the underside of the brim, as well as the top. What does your Easter bonnet look like?

Weekend Eye Candy - 1949 Molyneux Wedding Gown

For June brides - a 1949 wedding gown by the Paris House of Molyneux. Fitted silk faille bodice with long sleeves over a tiered silk tulle skirt that is cut slightly longer at the back to form a tiny train.
