Size 6 Wedding Dress - 1960s Scalloped Lace Empire Gown & Train with Pearls

Description

Very pretty with classic vintage details, this early 1960s gown has deep scalloped lace tiers like a wedding cake's frosting, with beautiful pearl accents & dangling loops of the same. It has a sheer net yoke with a 'necklace' of lace, V-point wrists and a gentle hourglass silhouette. Detachable train is deeply pleated to the top and broadly flared into a rounded hem, trimmed with a line of lace at the edge. Train extends about four feet behind the bride. This dress is unworn new-old stock, no original tags.
