Product Overview
The Edwardian Edit · Bridal Collection
A Study in Grace
Sculpted satin, softly gathered sleeves and a distinctive Basque waist create a romantic silhouette with an old-world sensibility.
The silhouette · V neckline · Basque waist
Romance, with a tailored edge.
Long puff sleeves bring a distinctly Edwardian mood to this white satin wedding dress. Narrow satin strands are tied into small knots along the sleeves, adding a delicate detail to the softly voluminous shape. The V-neck bodice features sheer detailing and shaped side seams, giving the upper body a defined, considered fit.
Below the bodice, the Basque waist creates a graceful downward line before the skirt opens into an A-line silhouette. Smooth fabric falls to a floor-length hem, balancing the romantic sleeve volume with a cleaner, fluid skirt.

The Ribbon Finish
The rear neckline descends into a plunging V, finished with satin ribbon strands tied into a statement bow. The long ends fall over the back of the skirt, introducing movement and a soft decorative line. It is a memorable detail for the ceremony entrance and the photographs taken from behind.

The Fitting Room
How should a V-neck wedding dress be fitted for fuller busts?
Check the neckline depth, bust circumference and side-seam position together. The bodice should lie smoothly without gaping or pulling at the V point. Discuss discreet internal support with your seamstress before altering the neckline, as changing its depth can affect the overall balance.
Can long puff sleeves be narrowed without losing their shape?
Sleeve adjustments should preserve the intended volume around the upper arm and the placement of the satin knot details. Ask for the sleeve circumference and wrist opening to be checked separately; reducing the entire sleeve evenly may remove the soft puffed proportion.
What underwear works with a plunging V-back wedding dress?
Traditional high-back bras may show above the rear neckline. Consider low-back support or professionally fitted sewn-in cups, depending on the bodice construction and the support you need. Test the chosen option with the dress before the final fitting.
What makes a Basque waist different from a natural waistline?
A Basque waist dips below the natural waist at the centre front, creating a longer-looking bodice line. During fitting, check that the point sits comfortably and symmetrically; changing its position can alter the visual proportions of the whole dress.
Can the back bow ribbons be shortened for the wedding?
Ribbon length can influence how the back detail falls over the skirt. If you prefer shorter ends, ask your seamstress to pin the desired length while the dress is being worn, then finish the ends neatly without cutting them before the final decision.
How early should I order for a wedding in the UK or Europe?
The listed standard schedule is normally 10–18 business days for tailoring and 2–8 business days for shipping. Plan beyond those estimates to allow for delivery variations, a fitting appointment and any alterations needed locally.
