Antique 1910 Paquin Satin & Beaded Long Wedding Gown EXQUISITE And Truely Rare!

Description

Antique Ete 1910 Paquin Satin And Beaded Long Wedding Dress Gown . This beautiful dress by Paquin is made of ivory satin with lace and beading decoration. In the photos there is a gold tone to it but all Ivory. The gown looks as though it was worn once ... all the material is still very strong and no signs of weakening. There are minor signs of wear ... one reddish dot above the bodice bow you can see in picture #5, a few dirt marks near the hem that looks like it was made by the heel of a groom who didn’t dance very well and perspiration stains under arms, which I would recommend replacing with a lace or satin gusset. Tassels in pic 8 need work. This gown has a multitude of hooks, eyes and snaps ... I tried to show a few in the last pictures.
Approximate Measurements:
Waist to hem is 41”
Waist to bottom of train is 53”
Chest is 34 “
Waist is 27 - 28”
