Such beautiful vintage finery! This is a sumptuous Empire style with hand-applied rings of pearls to the floral lace appliques, fitted to the bust with slim sleeves that flare full to the forearms. Appliques predominate the front; the back has rich gathers along the Empire seam and an unadorned train in two layers. Skirt extends about three feet behind the bride. It's a classic Regency-inspired design from a renown label for bridal wear, with an original price of $300 from the mid-1960s. Measurements
