General information & background
 
Valeria is an unusual yet classic dress that brings to mind Grace Kelly's iconic wedding dress. Valeria is constructed from a dense, soft damask fabric. Damask is a highly unusual fabric for a wedding dress, and it is very eye-catching! Valeria has attracted a lot of attention in our shop window.
 
Valeria features a Cheongsam neckline with covered buttons along the front closure, short sleeves, and a full A-line skirt. There are some special details along the back skirt: the train is complemented with trailing swags, and there are two large silk fabric rosettes at the back waist.
 
Valeria comes with her original Neiman Marcus retail hang tag, and has never been worn or altered. We love receiving gowns with their original tags, so this is a special find. 
 
About the designer
 
Eva Haynal Forsyth was a prominent high-end bridal designer in the 1980s and 1990s. She designed gowns under her own label and also for Arnold Scaasi's bridal label, Scaasi for the Bride. Her gowns typically featured voluminous skirts, heavy beading, and statement details like large puff sleeves. 
 
Size & measurements
 
Measurements must be used to assess whether a gown will fit you or can be altered to fit you. The flat measurements of this vintage wedding dress are as follows:
 
Bust - 34"

Hips - Free
 
It is a size 4-6 on our size chart. The fabric, while dense, is still soft and accommodating, so there is a small amount of wiggle room in sizing for this gown.
