An extremely special and incredibly rare Christian Dior custom couture sheer white silk billow-sleeve bridal gown with matching juliet cap veil. This ethereal look dates back to spring-summer 1972 when genius Marc Bohan was creative director. Here is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional archival Christian Dior bridal gown that even comes with her matching headpiece. The enchanting ensemble was custom made for a client in London. It bears the Christian Dior London label which is a licensed regional version for clients who could not travel to Paris for multiple fittings. The Dior atelier in London blended the best of both worlds: Parisian couture heritage with British refinement. 

This archival bridal masterpiece is fashioned in the highest quality semi-sheer white cigaline silk. The alluring low plunge bodice shows off the décolletage beautifully. Hundreds of sparkling prong-set rhinestones and domed filigree paillettes, in an elegant striped design, cover the entire bodice both front and back. This impressive beadwork, which must have taken weeks to complete, is repeated on the wide cuffs of the sheer billow sleeves and the juliet cap. I especially love the nipped waist silhouette with long ethereal tiered skirting. It effortlessly flares into flattering 'New Look' full skirting with stunning back train, creating graceful drama. This is more than a bridal ensemble, it’s a beautiful love letter from Dior’s London atelier. How epic to be the bride that says "I Do" in archival Dior.
