Size 8 Wedding Dress - Jane Austen 1960s Satin Bridal Gown Priscilla of Boston

Description

An exquisite wedding dress from Priscilla of Boston! This ornately detailed bridal gown has hand-applied pearls to the bust and gauntlet-style wrists, with lace appliques trailing from neckline to front hip. There's a gorgeous Regency design to the sheer lace neckline - it's cut and pieced separately from the satin bust to give a layered effect. Has pearls dotting the sleeves and a simple satin Watteau train deeply gathered across the shoulder blades and trailing about 2-3 feet behind the bride. Original 0.00 price tag attached from over forty years ago.
