About the Item

Without question, one of the most exquisite bridal gowns we have ever seen. Despite its 4 ½’ cathedral train, it is lighter in weight than most gowns half its length thanks to its whisper-light silk chiffon fabric. And with billowing bishop sleeves, 60 bodice and hip darts and a 2-ply ruffled neckline it would be fit for Guinevere’s castle. Ivory wedding gown with 4 ½’ train and gathered bishop sleeves with a single snap at each wrist. Round neckline trimmed with a double layer of chiffon ruffles, which continue down front center bodice to breastbone and flank 12 ornamental covered buttons. Front and back diamond shape inset waist with 30 darts above and 30 darts below waistline to accentuate bias cut skirt. 17 looped covered button closure at center back with top hook and eye; double finger loops on each side of train. Unlined (and very sheer). fabric: silk chiffon noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: reinforced waist darts where necessary condition: very good with two extremely faint spots at center bodice and one 6mm loss at rear center of skirt, about 4' from hem (see photos) measurements: neckline circumference: 18” (buttoned closed) shoulders: 13 ½” sleeve: 24 ½” from shoulder, 18” from underarm sleeve circumference: 22” at upper arm, 7” at wrist (snapped closed) bust: 40” waist: 26” hips: 42” length: 60” from shoulder to shortest point (front) of skirt, 52” from underarm to shortest point (front) of skirt; 112” from rear center neck to longest point (train) sweep: 257” train: 56” label: no label present, but couture tape reads “7481” size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size small

Reversible Ivory Faux Fur Robe w Leonard Paris-Inspired Jungle Lining - M, 1960s

Located in Tucson, AZ

"Wooly Bully" indeed! Words can hardly describe this incredible piece of mid-century fashion: a robe so unique and cozy you'll want to wear it outside the boudoir, thanks to its outrageous Leonard-inspired jungle print lining. And though it probably wasn't meant to be worn inside-out (as the interior has neither pockets nor belt loops) it can easily be reversed so the plush side is in and the jungle print is on display for the world to see. Reversible bath robe...
