Edwardian bridal fashion, crafted in cream silk satin and originating from England. The bodice closes at the sides with hooks and eyes, forming the characteristic dove-breast silhouette typical of the period. It features long sleeves with elegant cuff closures, transitioning into puff sleeves at the lower arm - a hallmark of early 20th-century design.

The high stand-up collar is lined with net tulle, while two folded silk and lace straps gracefully cover the chest area. The skirt ends in a train, adorned with hanging lace sections and silk ribbons that embellish the front and sides, leaving the train area intentionally plain for balance and movement.

Despite a few minor flaws - including a tear in the collar lace, missing lace at the cuffs and bust, and light staining (notably on the back of one sleeve)—the dress remains in very good condition, with its original structure and detailing beautifully preserved. Please note: the brooch shown in some images is not included.
