Description
Satin wedding gown floor-length with a small train. The long sleeves puff near the shoulder and gradually become tighter until buttoning at the wrists. The high neckline is closed by a clasp in the front and is detailed with a small portion of horizontal pleats across the collarbone. Vertical pleating continues from the top, front portion of the dress and culminates near the center-line, effectively accentuating a v-shaped waistline. From the waistline, these pleats relax and blend into the rest of the dress. 
The dress is accompanied by a floral headpiece. The crown is structured with wires covered in satin, which together create an underlying structure. Netting covers the intermediary space between the headband and ornamental upper portion. Delicate flowers are carefully arranged to continue a decorative halo-shape of the overall design.
