Abstract
Bridal fashion underwent a series of transformations in the 19th century. After researching this special period for wedding dresses, my design was inspired by royal wedding gowns such as the United Kingdom’s Princess Beatrice’s 1885 gown, which was fitted in front and ruffled on the hip with a long train. The purpose of this design is to create a sustainable yet fashionable and innovative wedding dress that will satisfy a brides’ need for creativity, identity, and versatility.
