*Vintage Chantilly Pure Lace Wedding Gown - Long Train Suitable for Brides Veil
Description
Vintage Couture Chantilly Lace Wedding Gown, with 66" integrated train.  Overall lace, very delicate, very beautiful.  Sewn in panels down the back of the train to form an extraordinary width of 86".  Featuring 43 Satin Covered Buttons and loops down the back, and 12 Satin Covered Buttons at each wrist.   Lace is a rich, buttery ecru color. Soft, almost wispy.
Waist approximately 24".  Shoulders 10 1/2" across.  Sleeves 23" to wrist, plus peak.  Floor length at front, shown in pictures with train pulled forward.  Dating to the early 1950's.
Because of the exceptional, delicate quality of this lace, the background net is quite fragile from age, and there are several breaks and small holes in the netting, particularly around the shoulders and bodice.  We would recommend lining the dress with a sheer net for stability if it is to be worn.  The lace has slightly darkened at the wrists.  Please see pictures.
An outstanding example of  a pure Lace Wedding Gown, constructed for the daughter of a family of means.  This is an excellent model for museum exhibition or collector.    Additionally, the yards upon yards of  Chantilly Lace might be used for enhancing or construction other garments, antique doll clothes, and so on.  We believe that the train section, which is in quite good condition, would make a breathtaking veil.
Estate Find, coming from a large home where one family's treasures have been carefully preserved for over a century.  Please view our listings for more fine examples from this and other estates.
