NEW, UNWORN and pristine custom Peter Langner gown originally purchased from Ultimate Bride Chicago in 2008, Style name CATHY from the Peter Langner Fall 2008 Bridal Collection. I purchased the dress in 2009 from Brides Against Breast Cancer, but ended up going with a different dress that better suited our wedding. I don't know why the dress was not worn by it's original owner, however this gown (Year, style, value) has been authenticated via Ultimate Bride in Chicago (original retailer) and with Peter Langner Studios in Rome. As I said, the dress NEW and UNWORN, still has the protective plastic around the hem, with all tags and labels attached. If you want to have the dress that absolutely NO OTHER BRIDE has, now or ever, THIS is your dress; this sleek, classic piece of custom couture is one of a kind and the originating style and fabric have been discontinued by the designer.
The gown is made entirely of pale, iridescent silver/platinum mikado silk with dramatic box pleating in the back, strapless, natural waist, small 2-1/2" sweep train and trademark Peter Langner Blue Bow sewn into skirt lining. Bodice has darting, structured boning in the back, grosgrain ribbon interior belt to prevent slipping with hook and eye closures above hidden zipper in skirt. Made in Italy. Perfect, glowing foundation for accessories like belts, sashes, dramatic veils, boleros, fur coats or fantastic jewelry. Ideal dress for weddings in lofts, art gallery, urban weddings, etc.
