HISTORY OF PRISCILLA OF BOSTONTM


 


Priscilla of Boston
began creating some of their most elaborate gowns, heavy with hand clipped laces and pearl beadwork, during the Revival period of the 1970's.

It was at this time that the industry was influenced heavily by the period films of the day.  These gowns featured matching futuristic fearless flyer headpieces for the ultimate, one of a kind renaissance style Priscilla Bride.

Rolled hems, Trapunto padding and cross stitched beadwork all created a medieval likeness that came straight out of a fantasy.
