Amsale Hampton Silk One-Shoulder Trumpet Wedding Gown — The Vault

Bridal season never really ends when you know where to look. This week, The Vault surfaces a rare find: a never-worn Amsale Hampton gown sourced for a client who changed her mind — and your gain is remarkable.

The Piece

The Amsale "Hampton" is the kind of wedding gown that transcends trends. First introduced in the Fall 2012 bridal collection, the Hampton remains one of Amsale's most quietly iconic silhouettes — a study in restrained luxury that speaks for itself.

Crafted from 100% heavy ivory silk, the gown features a sleek trumpet/mermaid silhouette with a modern one-shoulder asymmetrical neckline and a structured wide waistband that defines the waist and creates an effortless hourglass shape. The back closes with a zip and fabric-covered buttons, and all authentic Amsale labels remain intact.

The Condition

This is a Brand New Without Tags (NWOT) piece — never worn, never altered. It was originally sourced for a client as a secondary option; when she changed her mind, the gown was stored in pristine condition. This is as close to "direct from the atelier" as vintage bridal gets.

Details at a Glance

• Material: 100% Silk
• Color: Ivory
• Silhouette: Trumpet / Mermaid
• Neckline: One-Shoulder Asymmetrical
• Back: Zip closure with fabric-covered buttons
• Condition: Brand New Without Tags (NWOT) — Never Worn, No Alterations

A Note on Sizing

Bridal sizing runs differently from standard ready-to-wear. This gown is a Bridal Size 12, which typically fits a Women's US Size 6 or 8 — or a medium in most ready-to-wear lines.

Approximate Measurements:

• Pit-to-pit: 19"
• Waist: 29" – 30"
• Hips: 38.5" – 39.5"

Pro tip: For a trumpet silhouette, match your largest measurement — typically the hips. It's always easier for a seamstress to take a dress in than to let one out.

About Amsale

Founded by Ethiopian-born designer Amsale Aberra in 1985, the Amsale label has long been a cornerstone of American bridal fashion. Aberra built her reputation on clean lines, impeccable construction, and an unwavering commitment to quality fabrics — a philosophy that made her a favorite among brides seeking understated sophistication over ornamentation.

Her work has graced the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Martha Stewart Weddings, and her gowns have been worn by real brides and cultural figures alike. The Amsale woman isn't chasing a trend — she's dressing for a memory. The Hampton gown is one of the house's most enduring expressions of that ethos.
