Go to the chapel in a beautiful 60s style! This traditional bridal gown has vintage hints in the belled wrists, bow accents and exquisite attention to detail. It has a raised lace collar, Empire net bodice and sleeves and frilled net under the satin bells. The skirt has a regal formality with a pair of deep pleats to either side of the waist and a broad lace panel between them at the lower front skirt. The back skirt has a trailing hem that extends about 3-4 feet along the floor behind the bride. Original $300.00 tag attached from over forty years ago… this would be over $2,400 in today’s dollars!
