General background & information
 
Once in a while, we find a dress that has lost its designer tag somewhere along the way, but is clearly a beautifully-made couture vintage gown. Vanessa is one of those wedding dresses. We couldn't pass up the chance to have this in the shop.
 
Vanessa has a '90s-meets-Bridgerton vibe with its empire waist, hand-beaded French lace bodice fabric, and heavily boned bodice. The shape and structure of the boning in the back bodice is reminiscent of Victorian-era whalebone corsets. The bodice is finished with a functional corset and hidden side zipper. 
 
Vanessa's skirt is constructed from corded Alencon-style lace, and is trimmed with a delicate eyelash edge. (The lace used in the skirt is the same lace used in the bodice, but without the hand-beaded embellishment.) It is an easy-to-wear column silhouette -- and is quite long, too, so it would work for taller brides.
