Wedding dress

Palazzo Madama
Torino, Italy

The dress mimics the effect of a jacket and skirt ensemble worn over each other. The crew-necked bodice has glove-length sleeves, a tailored waist and an ample basque at the hips. The flared skirt covers the knees. Wedding dress worn by Giovanna Vacchino Merlo.
