I don't even know where to start with this dress. One of a kind, made by hand in the Bunratty Cottage in Clare Ireland. The Bunratty Cottage was Vonnie Reynolds work house where she created one off pieces.

Eventually word spread and some of the exclusive boutiques picked up her pieces. Sadly she passed before she could become a household name.

This piece is quite amazing; really seems to be collectible at this point.
Very Victorian / Bridgerton vibes.

Romantic 1970s wedding dress in a gorgeous silky satin boho style. Kind of a cross between Elizabethan collars and Regency. I could see this in a garden wedding with a flower crown.

Fitted bodice is pleated all around. Pleating is hand stitched to keep it tidy. Empire waist.

The sleeves are amazing! Tiny all around pleats with wide triple layer cuffs. Cotton, almost doily like, layers are separated by more pleating. Sleeves are quite long to "ballon" out. Wrists are tight.

Back metal zipper.

The entire dress is unlined.

Skirt is gathered at the empire and falls full from there.

Really a work of art.


Excellent condition.
