1960s Empire Satin Bridal Wedding Gown Beautiful 4-Ft Detachable Train - Size 8

Description

A demure Empire gown with simply pretty details! This wedding gown has a raised lace collar and yoke, with antique-inspired lace edging. The sleeves are an exaggerated bishop style deeply gathered into fitted lace cuffs. It has a columnar A-line silhouette to contrast with the gloriously full detachable train. It's pleated across the top with matching lace edging and a rounded hem that trails about 4 feet behind the bride. Original 0.00 tag attached from over forty years ago.
