Vintage 1981 GORGEOUS Princess Kate Look Handmade Ivory Wedding Dress

Description

This auction is for a gorgeous vintage handmade wedding dress with veil. This dress belongs to my aunt who married in 1981. Her sister made this dress for her out of Satin with satin brocade scalloped hem. It resembles the dress that Princess Kate wore. It has an over bodice long sleeve lace piece
that has pearl snaps up the back. The ends of the sleeves come down over the hand and also have pearl snaps. The veil sits on the crown of your head and is made of tulle and lace. The entire dress with the veil weighs between 3-4 pounds. All pieces are in very good vintage condition. It does have some flaws & stains. I have not attempted to get the stains out. I had so many pictures that I had to combine them in order to get them all listed here. If you would like to see them individually, just email me and I'll be glad to send them. Please see the pictures of my aunt wearing the dress on her wedding day. Below are the measurements and more of a description:
