Voluminous sleeves make this Sassi Holford gown the ultimate in vintage romance
I wanted to create a dress that would showcase silk satin chiffon’s translucent movement, and that is exactly what Agatha does. I took inspiration from the Victorian era throughout my Love Conquers All collection, including the pearl buttons on the front of Agatha which were taken from Victorian corsets.” Sassi Holford, Founder
