Dreamy 1950's Tea-Length Wedding Dress Ensemble

Description

I had this stunning dress listed recently, but decided my pics and the fact that it had no back closure didn't do it justice. So, I added a zipper, put the dress on a form and did it come to life!

I love how the lace edge of the bodice folds out like petals on a flower! Despite the virginal white color, this is one sexy, sexy dress!

In typical mid-century style, this dress is both romantic and well-made. The inner layer is white satin and the outer layer is chantilly lace. The bodice is strapless, with enticing detail and boned for support. The skirt has yards of lace gathered at the waist cascading to a huge hemline.

As if the dress wasn't enough, it also includes a beaded tiara, lace bolero and lace gauntlets.

Small sized. The bust measures 32", waist 26". The skirt is incredibly voluminous and a pretty tea-length, at 32" from the waist.

A word about the zipper. I used a vintage metal zipper with white fabric to match the color, era, and character of the dress. I could not find one that matched the length of the back opening exactly, consequently, the zipper is around 2" longer than needed. Of course the extra just extends below the opening inside the dress and is no distraction at all.

Otherwise, each and every piece of this dreamy ensemble is in excellent, wearable condition.

I modeled this gown over a crinoline to show volume of the skirt, but the crinoline is not included in this sale. If you need one, let me know and I will try to accommodate.

I have been wearing, collecting, and selling vintage clothing for years and fully guarantee this dress to be as I described.
