Wedding dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The wedding dress is a long, yellow, formal gown made of silk or satin. The dress has short sleeves that are puffy and gathered at the top. The neckline is square and there is gathering at the top of the bodice. The dress is floor-length and appears to be made of a smooth, shiny fabric. The mannequin it is displayed on is white and headless. The background of the image is a plain beige color. The dress appears to be from an earlier time period.
