Vintage 1910s Ivory Crème Embroidered Net-Lace & Silk Satin Trained Bridal Gown

About the Item

Ethereal bridal gowns from the early 20th century are perennial favorites and this one is a wedding show-stopper. The garment's effortless style is so modern; the intricate hand embroidery and fine fabrics are a treasure trove of couture needle art. This beauty, fashioned in a light-weight ivory crème silk satin, is also mixed with lavish net lace and sensational silk tulle. I love the way these antique textiles come together in such a magnificent way. The semi-sheer net lace goes down the front so you can either wear a slip, bodysuit or unique lingerie to create your own modern look. The ultra flattering slight empire bodice has elegant short sleeves. The exacting perfection of the fringed detail is beyond compare, while the dramatic back train has such magical allure. We needed to add many detail images so one can appreciate the masterful achievement. This museum quality gown resonates powerfully today, not only because of its intrinsic beauty, but also because it is an important aesthetic artifact from well over 100 years ago. The pictures say it all. Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches High Waist: 26-28 inches Hips: up to 40 inches Total Length: 59 inches Train Length: 37 inches This antique Edwardian couture bridal dress is in beautiful wearable condition with no serious damage. The garment slips over the head with numerous metal snaps and hook/eye closures down the backside. Only sign of wear are some darkening to the fabric from age and a few spots which do not at all detract from the gown's beauty. Please message for detailed pictures. A true work of art.

  • Iconic 1996 Madonna 'Evita' Film-Worn Beaded Ivory Silk Couture Archival Gown
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Own a major slice of celebrity and film history. Madonna wore this extraordinary ivory beaded couture gown for her portrayal of Eva Perón in the unforgettable 1996 film "Evita". Madonna campaigned to play the role of Evita and used her popstar status to acquire it. Many other actresses were considered to play the role such as Elaine Paige, Liza Minnelli, Cher and Meryl Streep. The film was a huge success for Madonna, who up until this time had not fared well in her acting exploits. Madonna even won a Best Actress Golden Globe Award for her performance as the First Lady of Argentina. Madonna wears this gorgeous gown in the scenes at the Inaugural Ball as she dances and movingly sings the song, "High Flying, Adored." The fabric itself is a masterpiece; high quality silk satin that has been heavily adorned with hand set red jewels, pearls, rhinestones and glass beads. I love the chic cut-out neckline which rests on the collarbone and scoops low in the back. The gown flows into an hourglass nipped waist where it breaks into a unique zig-zag design. The piece work to create the skirting in particular is extraordinary. The yard and yards of luxurious silk satin personify the feminine ideal in clothing. We photographed the garment with and without a petticoat so you can see the true fullness. Not only was this gown an iconic look for the character but Madonna was also featured in the October 1996 issue of Vogue magazine wearing this gown. The gown was originally made for the actress Carol Lawrence and then worn by actress Daryl Hannah while accompanying John F. Kennedy, Jr. to meet the Queen of England. We were thrilled to find a picture of this meeting as well. With Madonna worn garments fetching extremely high prices at auction (her 'Desperately Seeking Susan...
