AN ANGELIC WEDDING DRESS




If angels got married, the "bride" would wear something like this vintage wedding gown!
I tried to capture the details of this dress: the scalloped edges, the halter strap (you can probably get this removed and make it into a strapless), the gorgeous lace overlay, and paillettes that give the perfect amount of sparkle. 1940's/1950's style.

The original label highlights a Brazilian designer, but I can't make out the name. Beautifully constructed - HAND MADE.

As a stylist, I envision the woman who wears this dress to be small framed:
  • about a 32 bust (with minimal fullness)
  • either short waisted to normal waisted (definitely not for the long waisted woman)
  • can be either tea length for the taller woman or floor length for the shorter woman.
I'm 5'2" and it fits me perfectly in the waist and length (with high heels which is very rare)!

The color is antique white.

Size: Labeled 40 (I measured a 24in waist)

Excellent Condition - just needs to be refreshed and you'll be ready to walk down the aisle!
Price: $800
