A spectacular example of early 2000s bridal couture, this Romona Keveza wedding gown, constructed from an extraordinary 22 yards of luminous silk satin.
The strapless silhouette features a beautifully sculpted, softly ruched bodice that hugs the waist before releasing into an exceptionally full skirt. Artful asymmetrical draping sweeps across the gown and gathers dramatically at the hip, creating cascading folds of silk and an almost liquid quality as the fabric catches the light. The tremendous volume of silk continues into an expansive train, giving the gown the kind of presence and movement rarely found in contemporary bridal construction.
Romona Keveza is known for her sophisticated approach to traditional couture dressmaking, and this gown captures the glamour of the early 2000s while feeling remarkably relevant today. Its strapless neckline, dropped waist, dramatic hip treatment, and extravagant use of silk give it a distinctly editorial quality—somewhere between Old Hollywood glamour and turn-of-the-millennium couture bridal.
Perhaps most exceptional is its size 16. Larger sizes are notoriously difficult to source in vintage designer bridal, particularly in luxury gowns from this era, making this an unusually rare opportunity for a bride searching for authentic vintage couture with more generous proportions.

A Note About Vintage & Pre-Owned Gowns
Unlike newly manufactured clothing, vintage and pre-owned gowns have lived a life before arriving at Ritual Bridal. Age, storage, previous wear, alterations, and the natural characteristics of older textiles can all contribute to subtle variations and imperfections.
These may include minor discoloration, faint marks or spotting, small pulls or pinholes, areas of fabric wear, loose threads, evidence of previous alterations or repairs, or other signs consistent with the garment’s age and history. Older textiles, lace, embellishments, seams, and closures may also be more delicate than those found in contemporary garments and should be handled and worn with care.
Vintage gowns may feature construction techniques that differ from those used in modern bridalwear, including narrow seam allowances, hand finishing, pinked seams, and other period-specific methods. Unless specifically identified as damage, these characteristics can be a normal part of vintage garment construction and aging.
Condition & Inspection
Every gown is carefully inspected by Ritual Bridal, and we make every reasonable effort to disclose significant or notable condition issues. However, because many of our gowns are vintage or previously owned, minor signs of age, wear, storage, previous alterations, or use may be present even when they are not individually identified.
Condition descriptions are provided in good faith and are intended to give an accurate representation of each gown at the time it is offered for sale. They should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a pre-owned or vintage garment is entirely free of minor imperfections.
We strongly recommend that vintage and pre-owned gowns be professionally cleaned, altered, repaired, or restored when appropriate by professionals experienced in handling bridal and vintage textiles.
