About MeThis cream silk wedding dress is hand made. It features a high-neck, is edged with pearls, and a lace yoke backed with byer fine net. It has three-quarter-length sleeves edged in ruffles and an under-sleeve made of lace. There are lace circles down the right front and a band of ruffles down the left front which continues to the bottom of the skirt. There is a band of ruffles at the waist. The skirt is flared with a small train, and the hem has been embroidered with French knots.
