1950’s Wedding Dress
Hand Sewn
Great Vintage Condition. Some stains and tears.
Size Guesstimate 2-4
See measurements. Measuring is a challenge. I have heard it best to measure an item you like the fit to compare size. If you need clarification or more information, please ask.
Sizing . My model is. Size 4 and 5 feet tall very short waisted. The body of the dress was too long and buckled so this dress is for a taller slim soul As it is hand sewn, there is no size, so please review the measurements to ensure fit.
The dress is in great condition for vintage. If it fit, I would wear it as is.
I looked it over. I found 2 spots (see pictures) The hem is dusty. The button hoops in the waist area are stressed.(Likely caused in trying on.) perhaps a gentle clean like the YouTube lady is in order😀
The dress reminds me of Grandma’s wedding dress from 1950. My friend thought it looked 1980s. As I do not know the history, I will say, look at the pictures.
The base is satin, with a crinoline layer, 2 layers of net than lace. It has long sleeves, hook and eye buttons all the way up the back. Sequin, seed pearl and lace decoration on the front

Hello, I am away from my home until Saturday. I recall a small stain on the hem. It is an elaborate dress but I will give it a good look over and report back. And thanks for shopping my closet.

@vortex888 Hello, Apologies for the delay. This is a very full dress and I wanted a good look see. I added some pictures to the listing. I found 2 stains. Also there is some disturbance at the bottom of the button holes. You will find some imperfections in the sewing. Some loose threads. But no rips or tears. Remember netting is fickle but it looks good.

@vortex888 Remember this is vintage and age just increases imperfections. I priced very reasonably bec of this. If the wearer meets the measurements, I think one could wear this dress as is😀 And thanks for shopping my closet.
