Period: Romantic, 1805

This Regency bridal dress from the old Russia is made of hand-woven raw silk, which has been ornamented with numerous silk flowers in form of antique roses. The high-raised top was designed with a front cover that hides the actual buttons of the dress. It simultaneously raises the breast to create the Regency typical silhouette.
The design is based on an original from the Hermitage St. Petersburg.
