Cream moiré silk wedding dress
Designed by Victor Stiebel, London, 1963
T.169-1963

This wedding dress was made for Stiebel's final summer collection in 1963. It has an empire line waist at the front. The back of the dress falls straight from the shoulders, forming a short train at the hem. Inside the bodice is a boned foundation, while a tulle petticoat maintains the full shape of the skirt.
Victor Stiebel trained under Reville & Rossiter and established his own business in 1932. He also designed utility clothing during the Second World War.
