Renaissance style bridal gown loosely based on a painting.
This sixteenth century style wedding dress was constructed in a gold and purple shot
silk dupion, printed in gold. The corset is top-stitched to show off the bone channels and is piped at the neck and waist. It laces at the back and has a 'false' ivory silk chiffon chemise and renaissance style sleeve puffs, with velvet 'ribbon and
tag' details - joining the sleeves to the bodice. The cuffs are in a gold chantilly lace. The full skirt is worn over a bum-roll and petticoat, made,in accordance with costumes of this period, to the same methods as at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Detail (on left) of chiffon sleeve puffs and tie-on shoulder fastening: shot organza ribbon finished with gold metal aiglettes. On the right: the pouch bag, hand-embroidered in velvet flowers with beads, swarovski crystals and pleated organza trims to match the tones of the dress. The bag was attached by a jewellery clasp to the waistband, relieving the need to carry it by hand.
Complete gown including bum-roll and petticoat from £3500, depending on fabrics. For variations, please enquire.
