Berta Bridal, Berta 22-104 (Montefiore)

The Gown
An iconic piece from the Berta Spring 2022 Montefiore collection, the 22-104 is a masterpiece of modern bridal couture. This gown features a romantic A-line silhouette with a signature sheer corset bodice and a flattering basque waist. It is adorned with intricate 3D floral appliqués and vine-like embroidery over a base of premium Italian tulle.

The colorway is Antique Silver (AS), which gives the dress a multidimensional, ethereal shimmer that catches the light beautifully without losing its classic ivory feel.

Key Features
Dramatic Silhouette: A stunning backless design paired with a cathedral-length train.
Exquisite Detail: Hand-placed 3D florals, delicate beading, and silver-tinted embroidery.
Complete Look: This listing includes a matching veil to perfectly complement the 3D floral lace.
Bustle: This dress includes a bustle, which allows you to transition from your ceremony to your reception effortlessly, keeping the train safe and making the dress easy to dance in.
Two Looks in One: Includes matching off-the-shoulder draped sleeves with lace appliqué. Wear them for a romantic ceremony look and remove them for a bustled, sleek, strapless, reception style (see photo 4).

Alterations
Hemmed to 5’11” with shoes, preserving horsehair braid
Bustled (over bustle)
Bust lined with layers of nude tulle and cups added

Cleaning & Preservation: The gown was worn once and immediately professionally cleaned and preserved by the Wedding Gown Preservation Co.
Storage: It is currently stored in an airtight, gallery-quality preservation box to protect the delicate lace and shimmer.
Minor Disclosure: There are two minor vertical snags/tears in the outer layer of the fine illusion tulle (see detailed photos).
