1908 China Silk & Lace Victorian Wedding Gown w/Trailing Train

This breathtaking 1908 wedding gown is crafted from China silk and bobbin/chemical lace. The mono-bosom bodice features a softly pleated crossover design. A delicate yoke rises into a standing bobbin-lace collar, from which a scalloped lace flounce drapes the shoulders, embellished with hand-applied chemical-lace appliqué. Long bishop sleeves gather into matching lace cuffs, each accented with tasseled silk-chiffon bows. The high-waisted princess-line flows seamlessly into an elegant trailing train, closing at the back with lace-covered hook-and-eye fastenings. A stunning example of early 1900s bridal couture.

This timeless piece has been meticulously restored through our Immersion Restoration Process and is ready to be reimagined into your vision of perfection.

Gown Sizing: Vintage gowns tend to run small, but at Little Rose Bridal we can tailor them to fit today's modern bride! Most gowns can be altered up to four sizes, or we can fully reconstruct the gown for a complete transformation.

Bodice Closure Options: Because our vintage gowns are carefully restored by immersion cleaning, this requires the removal of original buttons to prevent metal oxidation on the fabric, giving brides the opportunity to customize their back closure. If the original buttons can be saved, we’ll restore them. Otherwise, choose from silk bridal buttons, freshwater pearl buttons, crystal buttons, embroidered buttons, a mesh zipper, or a corset insert to finish off your unique dream wedding gown.

Extras: We provide fully restored vintage veils, brand new hand-sewn premium nylon veils, and luxurious silk veils. Custom petticoats and era-appropriate slips are also available upon request. Reach out today to transform your dream wedding gown into reality!

Shipping: Each gown is meticulously packaged with the greatest of care. Tracking will be available and all our gowns are fully insured. Giving you peace of mind, to know your beautiful vintage wedding dress will arrive safely and as expected.
