Size 8 Wedding Dress - Grand 1960s Net & Satin Empire Bridal Gown with Twining Pearl Beadwork - Regency Style - Unworn - Bust 35 - 36360-1
$ 299.99
Like something out of a Jane Austen novel, this stunning traditional wedding gown has a net Empire bustline and pearl-rimmed scoop neckline with sheer net sleeves & lace-on-net appliques. Lines of twining pearls detail the formally full A-line skirt with lace accents & pearl clusters, and an unadorned trailing hem that extends about two feet behind the bride. Original $400 tag attached from the mid-1960s.
