Athena is a striking vintage pure silk bridal gown by Anna Christina London, dating to the late 1980s / early 1990s.
The gown has a wonderfully regal shape, with a fitted jacquard bodice and basque waist that gives beautiful definition through the torso. From there, the skirt opens into a dramatic full ballgown silhouette in luminous silk, with a cathedral-length train.
At the front, it has a softly scooped neckline and long fitted sleeves with pointed cuffs and delicate silk-covered buttons, while the back is finished with a full row of matching covered buttons running down the gown.
