Size 8 Bridal Gown - Charming Empire Wedding Dress & Train - Antique Inspiration

Description

A beautiful vintage style in clean lines with romantic lace! This scoop-necked gown has a femme lace collar over a high Empire bodice with sheer sleeves. Its waist curves a bit lower in back where there are rich gathers that create a full skirt. Has two lines of lace to the back skirt and a lace-edged hem that trails about two feet behind the bride. This lovely gown is new-old stock from a bridal shop that opened in 1957.
