Dolly is a gloriously extravagant vintage prairie gown, crafted from ivory dupion silk with delicate pink piping, lace-trimmed ruffles and oversized bows.
Her off-the-shoulder neckline, voluminous puff sleeves and drop waist create a striking silhouette, while layers of gathered silk cascade into an asymmetric, tiered skirt.
Equal parts Little Bo Peep and Victorian drama, Dolly is a wonderfully eccentric piece for a bride who has never been interested in blending in.
