Ivory Pearl and Lace Graduated-Length Wedding Gown w Rose Bustle – XS, 1950s
About the Item
With Taylor’s neck and waistline, Hepburn’s sleeves and Kelly’s lace, this wedding gown has all the requisites of a 1950s heirloom. We love how the uneven, graduated hemline and derrière-flattering roses cast a modern influence on the otherwise classic, pearl studded silhouette. The deep hemline on the lace overlay permits lengthening if desired.
Ivory ballet-length wedding gown with seed pearl bodice; V neckline and long lace sleeves with wrist points. Back features 5 white organza roses in low V shape at bustle; rear nylon zipper closure. Fully lined (except sleeves) in ivory satin; free-moving skirt lining is deliberately longer than lace top skirt for added dimension.
