Victorian-style wedding dress/Miss Havisham from Great Expectations?

Does this look like an early 1800s/Victorian style wedding dress? Do high heels seem right for this era? I'm trying to draw a picture of Miss Havisham, a crazy old lady who got dumped on her wedding day from the book Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens for a class.

Does it look 1800s-ish enough? Any recommendations? I plan on messing with her face to make her look older and I might change the shoes if I can get an idea of what wedding shoes were like back then.

Thank you for your help (:

Today many women who are planning to get married lead such busy lives that they may not have the time to go from store to store looking for just the right wedding dresses. There are plenty of websites around which are attached to stores this means it is possible to look for an online wedding dress and then go to the nearest supplier to pick it up.

There are so many choices available to the modern bride, particularly with the rise of the internet. It is possible to find an online wedding dress in just the style, size and color that you need if you do your research. Modern wedding dresses don't have to be white, they can be in a variety of colors. It is false to assume that brides have always worn white, it did not actually become popular until Queen Victoria got married in a white dress. There has been a trend towards medieval and Gothic style wedding dresses and again these can be found in a variety of materials and colors.

Many modern wedding dresses are inspired by clothes worn on the catwalk - it is a simple matter to convert some of the nineteen twenties style clothing into modern wedding dresses. Brides want their wedding to be romantic and this is often evident in their style of dress, lace is making a comeback and you can get an online wedding dress if you choose, that is made entirely of lace.

One of this year's trends has been fitted bodices and flared skirts and this is now evident in modern wedding dresses. Fabric is the key element for modern wedding dresses. You can find an online wedding dress in almost any fabric you can think of, and when it comes to modern wedding dresses then the more luxurious that material the better.

Every bride wants to look special on her wedding day, she wants to believe that her wedding dress is the only one like it; and this is possible in the modern world. Many brides will have their wedding dresses specially made, it is even possible to have a wedding dress made to your own specifications. Modern wedding dresses are often designed to fit in with a particular theme, something that has come about with the growing tendency to have a professional organize your wedding.

This last year or so there has been a trend towards vintage, vintage furniture, vintage cars, and vintage wedding dresses. Many so called modern wedding dresses hark back to an earlier age as there is a demand for medieval and Victorian style dresses. Modern brides to be will find a huge variety of online wedding dresses to choose from, including vintage. Modern wedding dresses can be long or short, sleeveless or with long sleeves. Whatever style you choose, and whether you have a dress custom made or order an online wedding dress, it should be a dress that you feel comfortable in as this is meant to be the happiest day of your life.
