Oscar de la Renta couture wedding gown.
This exquisite limited-edition couture gown was made to measure in 2010, while Mr de Renta himself helmed the brand, and is a vintage couture design that cannot be found anywhere else today.
Thousands of embroidered flowers cascade over layers of tulle in a strapless, A-line ballgown silhouette with a silk and tulle train. The petals, pearls and sequins were hand-embroidered by artisans in the US atelier, taking over 400 man-hours to create.
The design was customised with a matching embroidered halter neck strap that is removable, and matches a satin belt sash. The matching tulle veil is embroidered with the same flowers, pearl and sequin embellishments.
The gown is elegant, exquisitely made , the tulle has an ethereal lightness and the dress sparkles when it catches the light.
The purchase price was USD $20,000. This is a gown that will carry investment value as a vintage gown over time.
