Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in the aspect of her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face."
-Lord Byron
This incredible vintage GUNNE SAX 1800's inspired Mourning Gown is exquisite!
in fabulous condition, and fits like a dream.
this dress is just so elaborate and fabulously textured with it's flowing layers! its got that delicious full skirt and a gorgeous black ribbon tie around the waist. the cut and feel of this dress is so elegantly somber. the black cloth flower on the front of the skirt is a simple pin attachment and can be removed for a full length ungathered gown look, i personally love the layers so i like to show off their ruffles and texture. the dress zippers half way up to the lower back and then fastens with
12 black buttons up the sheer fabric back. very sexy with its ruffles and high collar neck. such lovely condition for an old dress, no rips or tares,it is missing one black button on the lower back, but you can barely notice and it would be easily replaceable.
perfect Halloween costume! you would definitely stun the ball in this beautiful gown!
