Antique Hand-Sewn Ivory Wedding Dress from 1951 Vintage 1950's Handmade Small

Description

This is an absolutely incredible hand-sewn ivory antique wedding dress from 1951. It is simple and elegant. If you are looking for a dress with history and character and the true elegance of time you couldn't do better than this beauty! It is flattering and classic. It has some yellowing and some stains (luckily mostly on the back of the hem where they wouldn't be too visible (see photos)). The dress could benefit from a professional cleaning and perhaps some very minor repairs. Because it was hand-sewn it does not have a size sewn in but it is a size small. Please check the measurements below to guarantee a good fit. I have included a photo of this dress being worn in 1951. It is such a special dress! I am also including the matching wedding bonnet but it does have some moth damage.
