Technical Details of Wedding Dress Sketch

An Irish, Edwardian-era wedding gown from the late 1800s or early 1900s typically featured a floor-length skirt, a fitted bodice, and intricate lace detailing, often with floral or geometric patterns. White gowns grew in popularity after Queen Victoria wore one in 1840. The silhouette of late Edwardian dresses, around 1910, began to change, becoming slimmer with a raised waistline and a longer corset. Necklines were often high, with a "dog collar" style, and sleeves fitted closely, sometimes with fullness at the sleeve head. Dresses of this time had magnificent detailing, including embroidery, beadwork, lace, and rich textiles
