FOR THE BRIDE WHO WANTS SOMETHING TRULY UNFORGETTABLE
This couture-inspired gown is unlike anything you'll find in a typical bridal salon. Romantic, ethereal, and undeniably dramatic, it combines Victorian elegance with modern sensuality in a way that feels completely timeless.
The gown features a breathtaking illusion high neckline, intricate hand-beaded and pearl-embellished bodice, delicate appliqué detailing, and a flowing silk chiffon skirt that moves beautifully with every step. The barely-there illusion construction creates the appearance of embroidery floating on the skin, while hidden nude cups provide subtle shaping. Featherlight ruffle details add a unique romanticism. The back is especially striking, with sheer illusion fabric and appliqué placement creating the effect of an open back.
The silhouette is incredibly flattering, highlighting the waist before falling into a soft, flowing chiffon skirt. Unlike the runway version, the interior layers were customized to eliminate exposed leg slits, creating a more romantic and elegant look while preserving the dramatic movement of the outer chiffon layers.
This gown feels equally at home in a historic estate, destination wedding, garden ceremony, or seaside celebration. It photographs beautifully and has a rare quality that is difficult to describe until you see it in person—dramatic yet delicate, sexy yet regal.
Originally purchased during an exclusive designer trunk show at the renowned Marc Ingram Bridal Atelier in Manhattan.
FEATURES
• Hand-beaded bodice with pearl accents
• Victorian-inspired illusion high neckline
• Sheer illusion back with appliqué detailing
• Silk chiffon skirt with exceptional movement
• Hidden nude cups sewn into bodice
• Lightweight and comfortable despite its dramatic appearance
• Professionally cleaned and carefully stored
MEASUREMENTS
Custom made to approximately:
• Bust: 34B
• Waist: 28"
• Hips: 39"
The waist measurement is the most important due to the fitted waistband. The illusion bodice and flowing skirt allow for some flexibility elsewhere.
HEIGHT
I am 5'5½" and wore 2½" heels (approximately 5'8" total height). The gown was hemmed in the front while retaining additional length in the back for a soft train effect.
CONDITION
Professionally cleaned and in excellent condition.
Please note two almost imperceptible imperfections:
• Some fuzziness to portions of the pearl-edged hem from walking on historic cobblestone streets. This is primarily located toward the back of the gown and is not noticeable when worn. A minimal hem adjustment would eliminate it entirely.
• Very slight puckering along portions of the illusion armhole edges due to the delicate nature of the fabric and normal handling during fittings and wear.
Both are almost imperceptible and I am happy to provide detailed close-up photographs.
Additional photos, measurements, and proof of purchase are available upon request. In-person viewing may also be arranged for serious buyers in Connecticut.
This gown made me feel absolutely extraordinary on my wedding day, and I would love to see it become part of another beautiful celebration.
