Mariana Hardwick, Vintage Custom Made

Exceptional vintage Mariana Hardwick three-piece wedding set featuring a blouse constructed from genuine antique lace, a pink champagne satin skirt with matching sash and lace details on waist and hem, and delicate crochet gloves.

The blouse is the standout piece, created using a combination of 19th-century and early 20th-century antique lace panels. Several lace techniques appear throughout the garment, including:

• Antique Irish crochet lace panels
• Fine floral Chantilly-style lace ruffles
• Filet lace sections creating geometric openwork patterns
• Delicate needle lace appliqué motifs

The bodice features intricate hand-beading, with tiny beads individually sewn across the lace to highlight floral motifs and add subtle texture and shimmer. A high ruffled Victorian collar, cascading layered lace flounces, and dramatic lace sleeves give the blouse a strong Edwardian / romantic revival silhouette.

The skirt is crafted from soft champagne blush satin with a flattering high waist and elegant drape. A wide matching detachable satin sash ties into a large bow at the waist, creating a beautiful focal point and balancing the ornate lace bodice. The skirt hem is finished with lace trim that complements the antique lace above.

Completing the ensemble is a pair of vintage hand-crocheted gloves, adding a charming period detail that enhances the historical styling of the set. The gloves themselves look to be from approx [removed]. The gloves are in perfect condition.

• Alternative or vintage bridal wear

• Lace collectors and vintage couture enthusiasts

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. As expected with antique lace, there may be minor irregularities, slight tone variation, or delicate areas consistent with the age of the lace. These characteristics add to the authenticity and beauty of the piece. Please review photos carefully as they form part of the description. There are several areas along the hem of the blouse that have been repaired by a seamstress. Does not detract from the top at all.

Labelled a size 10. Measurements are available if you need. Just ask.
