sourceHollywood designers and the actresses who wore their creations influenced the way we look at weddings and fashion today. This gown is a work of art and stellar representative of its time. What could be more 1930s than Robert Kalloch's creation for Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night?

This simple satin gown with florals surrounding the neckline could be found today in a few designer collections. The look has become timeless. Attached to the cap head piece you'll see miles of chiffon netting, a light and airy fabric the designer chose because in this story, Colbert needs to become the runaway bride once she decides Clark Gable is the one.
