General information & background
 
Sandra, a vintage wedding dress from the Christian Dior Bridal Collection, was originally worn at a wedding at a British manor house in 1994. 
 
Sandra is constructed from duchess silk satin in a warm ivory shade; this particular shade of fabric was a custom order, as the gown originally came in a cool, very light ivory color. The bodice has a portrait neckline with pleated detailing, structured tip-of-shoulder straps, Basque waistline, and princess seams for a closely tailored fit.
 
The skirt has a soft A-line or full column silhouette in front with draped detailing and silk rosettes at the side waist. The back of the skirt is extremely dramatic, with a long attached train that has rosette-centered pickups. The gown is finished with a line of covered buttons at the back. 
 
Sandra is such a classic and romantic wedding dress!
