A regal inspiration with antique details! This vintage bridal gown has a bateau neckline and Empire bust dotted with queenly pearls to the center front panel and back bodice. It has sheer lace-appliqued net sleeves and beautiful panels of the same to the sides of the skirt. The back skirt is extravagantly full with a rich line of gathers to the raised waist and a gorgeous train that extends about four feet behind the bride.
