  • Vintage 1970s Ivory Mixed Lace Sheer Cotton Bohemian Flutter-Sleeve Bridal Gown
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    An ethereal 1970's British custom couture ivory gown that effortlessly mixes the bohemian vibe with 1930's Old Hollywood glamour. I definitely think this beauty would make an epic bridal look. The fabrics used work absolutely perfect together; a semi-sheer cotton gauze blend mixed with netted filet lace and thick corded crochet lace. The bodice is framed with gorgeous scalloped trim and the prettiest winged flutter sleeves. This figure flattering gown with a flirty low backside accentuates the waist while skimming the hips with yards and yards of skirting. The knotted fringe detail adds such fantastic depth and texture. It is impeccably hand crafted and on the level of modern day couture. Here is a show-stopper with attitude and elegant. Measurements Bust: 32-36 inches (varies due to design) Waist: 26 inches Hips: Free Sweep Total Length: 62 inches This 1970's custom couture gown...
