c. 1930s Ivory Satin Wedding Gown with Delicate Beaded Shoulders
A beautiful 1930s ivory satin bridal gown, shaped through a softly gathered bodice with a deep V neckline, sculpted shoulders and an elongated waist. Fine rows of beadwork are worked through the gathers at the shoulders, sitting quietly against the satin and catching little glints of light as the gown moves.
The long sleeves taper from their sculpted shoulders to pointed wrists, while the skirt falls in a clean sweep of ivory satin before extending into a beautiful train behind. There is so little embellishment here, yet so much presence. The exaggerated shoulders, long line through the waist and almost hidden beadwork give it a kind of old-world glamour that feels quietly cinematic.

Your piece has been carefully cleaned and will arrive ready to wear. After shipping, it may just need a light steam to release any wrinkles.

For storage, keep your piece somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight, ideally in a breathable garment bag where appropriate.
