Welcome to Lulu Boop Vintage — a curated world of antique and vintage garments, thoughtfully preserved and reimagined to be worn again. Each piece is one of a kind, carrying its own past and ready to become part of yours.

An enchanting antique ivory bridal gown with delicate beaded details, sheer long sleeves and a beautifully flowing skirt. A romantic piece for a bride drawn to historical fashion and the individuality of a lovingly restored dress.

The gown is made from a delicate, lightweight chiffon that appears to be silk, with a soft, fluid drape. There is no fabric label to verify the composition.

The bodice features a gently rounded neckline and curved bands of shell-shaped embellishments, accented with slender, reflective beads that add a subtle sparkle. Smaller shell-like motifs continue along the sheer sleeves to the decorated cuffs. Lace appliqués add texture throughout the gown.

A softly gathered sash wraps low around the hips and ties at the back, where cascading fabric flounces create a beautiful focal point. The long skirt falls in fluid folds and finishes in a generous ruffled hem, giving the gown graceful movement.

This piece has been extensively restored by Lulu Boop Vintage, with many hours devoted to carefully placing and sewing numerous lace appliqués, from tiny accents to larger decorative motifs. Added as part of the restoration, these appliqués complement the existing embellishments and are not original to the gown.

Details:
• Soft ivory tone
• Lightweight chiffon, believed to be silk; no fabric label
• Gently rounded neckline
• Long sheer sleeves with decorated cuffs
• Shell-shaped motifs accented with reflective beads
• Numerous lace appliqués added during restoration
• Draped sash that ties at the back
• Cascading back flounces
• Flowing skirt with a generous ruffled hem

Condition:
Extensively restored antique condition. The fabric feels sound, and the gown has numerous added lace appliqués throughout. It should be appreciated as a restored antique piece rather than an untouched garment. Please review all photographs, including the close-ups of the fabric, embellishments and restoration work, as they form part of the description.

Please compare the measurements with a similar garment that fits you comfortably, allowing room for movement.

Fit & Sizing Notes

Vintage and antique garments do not follow modern sizing standards. Many were handmade or tailored for a specific individual. Size labels are for reference only — measurements are what matter. I’m always happy to help with fit questions.

Condition & Care

• All pieces are vintage or antique and may show gentle signs of age

• Hand-dyed items may have subtle color variations; wash delicately

• Pre-1930s fabrics (silk, muslin, lace) are fragile and should be worn with care and ease

Edwardian & Victorian details to note:

• Corset-era waists are often very small

• Sleeves may be ¾ length by design

• Buttons may show period-appropriate replacements

Shipping

• Ships within 1 business day

• Import taxes and duties are the buyer’s responsibility

Accessories shown are for styling only and are not included.
