Vera Wang Stella (2002)

General background & information
 
This 2002 Vera Wang wedding dress puts us in mind of Victoria Beckham's iconic *** gown. 
 
The dress has a cat-eye neckline and a dropped waist. It is constructed from Vera's trademark silk duchesse satin in a cool, rich ivory shade. The standout features of this vintage wedding dress are the panels of handmade French lace that extend from the sides into a dramatic train. The lace is an exquisite quality that is unlike anything else we've ever seen before; the pictures are beautiful, but it needs to be seen in person to really be appreciated!
 
Stella is a classic Y2K Vera in the sense that the focus is on the quality of the materials and the simplicity of the design. It's a pared-back, elegant, timeless, and unforgettable choice. 
 
Stella has been previously worn but remains in excellent condition. We suspect the dress was probably only worn for the original owner's wedding ceremony, and she then changed into a different dress, because there are few indications of prior wear.
