Imagine walking down the aisle in a rare, museum‑quality gown that feels like a secret kept for nearly a century.

This extravagant vintage 1940s Miriam Originals silk satin wedding gown is a rare, highly sought-after bridal treasure. Characterized by its luxurious, liquid silk satin fabric, this ivory gown glistens with a rich sheen and boasts a touch of grandeur with its 86" cathedral train. The modest illusion neckline gives the gown an off-the-shoulder look. The princess-cut bodice is fitted, with a basque waist shape, emphasized by piping at the seams. Note the shape of the skirt— with pleating only starting at the side waist, which adds fullness while still creating a flattering, nipped-waist look. Long sleeves that gather at the elbows and come to a point at the wrist. A dramatic set of 40 small fabric-covered functional buttons down the back and 5 fabric covered functional buttons along the cuffs. Contains original netting under the bottom pleat.

All of this work is done by hand, which is really remarkable.  

These gowns showcase quality materials and craftsmanship, often with authentic designs, long sleeves, making them the perfect wedding gown for any vintage lover or collector. This wedding gown comes with it's original wedding bag that it was purchased in.
