Size 8 Wedding Gown - Exquisite 1960s Vintage Empire Bridal Dress with Net Bodice & Romantic Sleeves - NWT Deadstock - Bust 35 - 23127

A Regency-inspired gown you'll dream about! This mid-1960s design has a scallop-edged scoop neckline front and back, with pearls & beadwork to the lace appliques at the Empire bodice. The sleeves are the highlight of this gown, in full organdy over net with a flounced style and a fitted cuff of net & beadwork underneath. The skirt appears rather light and simple at the raised waist, then gains fullness to a ballroom flare at the hem. It's two layers of organdy over a full opaque lining, with a trailing hem about 2-3 feet in back. Original 1960s tag is attached, with a forty-year-old price of $500.00!
