Wedding dress with extremely wide, puffed sleeves, anonymous, in or before 1835
silk, More details
In 1835 Baroness Nine van Slingelandt married Jonkheer Pieter Teding van Berkhout in Amsterdam. Unlike many of her wealthy contemporaries she did not wear a lace dress, but rather a wedding gown made of an intricately woven silk fabric that makes the illusion of lace. The fabric consists of a tulle ground to which extra threads were added to create the floral pattern.
