    Description

    Offered here Museum collection Antique from 50s William Cahill ,. Ltd Beverly Hills Pure organza Formal/Prom or bridal Gown.
    William Cahill Premier designer of wedding 50s.
    Lowered scalloped waist line holding extensively gathered skirt giving it very full look. The bottom of the skirt has 21" double hem with narrow lace accent.
    Lined fully in viscose/acetate ivory silk
    the back has white metal zipped and hook and eye closure.The bodice is clean inside but the organza got storage marks over the time.
    This should be cleaned,. ( I'm not  sure if organza can be soaked for a while/.. ask the cleaning pro. ) Some soiling on the bottom hem and throughout.
    To make this gown worth  a few grand more,. I would replace the lace with nice antique french like princess or Brussels. This will not  cost you much and I'm sure you can do it yourself!
    We can't buy this kind of fabric today.
    Adorable for the prom!! Simple and gracious but will turn the heads.  !!
    57" from shoulder to hem
    34" to 36" bust
    25"-26" waist
    Please, ask your questions before you place your bid!
    I have one more 19th  century Brussels  lace Gown listed in my store.
