Size 8 Medieval Wedding Dress - Lady of Camelot Style 1960s Ivory Renaissance Bridal Gown - Lace Bell Sleeve - Priscilla of Boston Deadstock
$ 1,250.00
This superb Medieval inspired wedding gown is Priscilla of Boston at her best! Like out of an elegant fairy tale, this Renaissance style bridal dress has a decollete` V-neck edged in encrusted pearls with an optional lace modesty panel and lithe fitted Empire bodice. The long sleeves end in gorgeous gathered lace bells also trimmed in pearls encircling the forearms. It's a slim A-line skirt with rich gathers along the back waist and a trailing hem that extends about 2-3 feet behind the bride. Original $300.00 tag attached from over forty years ago... this would be over $2,400 in today's dollars!
