1970s ivory silk satin & lace hand made Victorian style wedding dress. Beautifully made dress with lace insertion and tiny tucks everywhere. This gorgeous dress is perfect for any bride to be who loves antique dresses. The dress is made from ivory silk satin with a white lace yoke front and back and bands of white lace on the sleeves, lower bodice and skirt hem. Beautiful tiny pleats are featured on the upper arms, front bodice, cuffs and skirt above the deep hem. The sleeves are semi full and gathered into lace trim cuffs with self covered buttons 3 at each cuff and satin loops. A lace band neck with a ruffle of lace at the top. The dress closes at the center back with self covered buttons and satin loops. The dress waist has a cased elastic hidden band so it has a bit of stretch. The full skirt is gathered below the waist and flares at the hem. The lower skirt has panels of mini pleats and below, deep rows of insertion lace and pleats.
The dress is in very good pre owned condition, there are a couple of light marks at the hem edge that aren't seen. There is one tiny repair to the lace at the back. Fits like a size medium. Together with the original wide off white satin ribbon that was used for the waist wrap.
In very good vintage wearable condition. All our clothing is dry cleaned and inspected for condition and is ready to wear. Any condition issues will be noted. For visual comparison our mannequin is a size 4.
