Wedding ensemble

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wedding ensemble by Charles James consists of a short sleeved, square neckline, knee length bodice in light gold color with a fitted waist and a full, floor length skirt full of pleats. The dress is made of light gold-colored fabric, possibly silk or satin, with a subtle sheen. The bodice features a square neckline and short sleeves. The skirt is full and floor-length, with numerous pleats that give it a textured appearance. A thin belt cinches at the waist, adding definition to the silhouette. The mannequin displaying the dress is white and headless, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the garment. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the dress.
