Size 4 Wedding Dress with Train - Sophisticated 1960s Peau du Soie Empire Bridal Gown - Bust 33 - Waist 28.5 - Mint Condition - 32781

An especially fine wedding gown for its elegant style and couture quality fabrics! This early 1960s bridal gown has a fitted lace-over-satin bodice and sheer lace sleeves with buttoned wrists. Its collar is a high bandeau lace panel, rather dramatic and Jackie O-inspired, and it plunges to a squared cutaway in back. Has lace appliques dotting the sides and back skirt, with rich gathers across the mid-back into a trailing hem. The skirt's train extends 3-4 feet behind the bride. Original $400.00 tag attached from over forty years ago.
