A wonderful 1980s wedding dress by Fiona Clare London, crafted from luxurious ivory raw silk dupion with a beautiful natural texture and subtle sheen.
Cathy features a fitted bodice with a flattering basque waist, a softly scooped neckline framed by delicate ruffles and handmade pink and ivory silk rosettes. Subtle pink piping traces the bodice, adding a beautiful contrast to the ivory silk, while tying in with the rosettes.
The full princess skirt has cascading layers, gathered swags, delicate ruffled trims and further silk rosettes. At the back, a V-shaped neckline, silk covered buttons and a cluster of silk rosettes at the waist complete this exquisite vintage gown.
