80s taffeta dress with bustle

This is a stunning, authentic vintage wedding gown, perfectly capturing the romantic, opulent, and dramatic silhouette of the 1980s. The dress is constructed from a beautiful cream taffeta, which holds its shape wonderfully, creating a sculptural, architectural look with a subtle, elegant sheen.

Classic 80s short, gathered puff sleeves that sit elegantly on or off the shoulder. A flattering, scalloped sweetheart neckline trimmed with delicate pearl beading and lace appliqué.

The waistline and the dramatic hip draping are highlighted with a repeating trim of pearl and seed beading. The standout feature is the bustle-style hip draping, which creates a bold, voluminous silhouette at the back before flowing into the train. This is the epitome of 80s bridal drama!

This dress has been cleaned and checked and ready for re-wear! Good condition, one mark under one arm next to the seam, could be eliminated by taking the sleeve in.
