General background & information
 
Penelope is a classically beautiful '90s wedding dress by a British couture bridal designer. It has all the hallmarks of high-end British bridal fashion from the era. Constructed from silk dupion and silk taffeta, it features a heavily boned bodice, Basque waistline, long sleeves, and a wide scoop neckline topped with large silk charmeuse bows. Both the back of the bodice and the sleeves are finished with a row of covered buttons.
 
The skirt is a column style, and it reaches to the ankle in classic vintage fashion. It is designed to show the wearer's shoes. It has gathering at the back waist to create volume and a dramatic train. This is just a perfect wedding dress -- elegant, romantic, refined, and easy to wear.
 
Sizing & 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 - 40"
Waist - 32"
Hips - free
 
It is roughly a modern size 12. Note that because of the high, structured back, there is little wiggle room in the bust measurement.
