Size 4 Wedding Dress - 1960s Taffeta Empire Bridal Gown with Bishop Sleeves & Bows - 60s Wedding Gown - Bust 33 - Raised Waist 27- 31830-1

A traditional bridal gown with demure details, this wedding dress was a budget choice in the 1960s judging by its glue-applied lace on the sleeves and the velcro closure to the gauntlet style V-point wrists... it could be a smart project piece today for a bride with sewing skills. It has an Empire waist and bow accents with starry buttons at the bodice and front skirt. The skirt's a formal A-line with a wreath of lace to lower front. Fully lined with a $150.00 vintage price from over forty years ago.
