Gift of Mrs Sylvia Kho

Made by one of Singapore's earliest wedding gown designers Sylvia Kho, this wedding gown is a fine example of her embriodery and tailoring skills. The boat neck dress with a long train is embriodered all over with sequins, pearls and roses made of Swiss lace. These appliqued flowers give the dress a three-dimensional look. The three-quarter sleeves are ruched at the end and decorated with sequins and beads.
