Wedding dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wedding dress by an unknown artist. The dress is cream-colored, made of satin, with a high neckline and short, puffy sleeves. The bodice is fitted with a high collar and appears to be decorated with lace or embroidery. The skirt is full and flared with multiple layers of gathered and ruffled underskirts visible at the bottom. The dress appears to be in a fragile state, with some areas stained or discolored. The background is a plain beige color.
