Vintage-style 1920s champagne cream wedding dress, by London Designer Ritva Westenius back in the 90s. The dress is inspired by the Great Gatsby and has beautiful intricate bead work embellishment on the front and back with beaded drapes from v neck chest to the cross back where a hook and eye brooch piece connects the two back straps. Beautiful full train at back as pictured and slinky slip subtle mermaid a line style fit. Lightweight 100% silk material satin finish with smooth underlay layer.

The RRP over 20 years ago was £2500.

The dress is in amazing condition, has a few marks on the hem and on underlay but can barely be seen. A professional dry-cleaner will know how to remove these and make good as new. Can’t see any issues with beading all in perfect condition.

Size 12 however vintage sizing so fits more like a modern size 8-10. Model wears a size 6 - 8. Pads / cups will need adding (like most wedding dresses) depending on bra size for wearer.

Approximate measurements when laid flat are:
(Pit to pit) Bust: 86cm
Waist: 76cm
Hips: 92cm
Length (from pit to hem): 138cm

This is a rare chance to own a very unique beautiful, couture, vintage wedding dress! Perfect for a vintage lover who wants a totally unique and beautifully beaded dress!
