    late 1940s wedding gown SO classy SO simple size 10
    Sole Sister Vintage has uncovered yet another FABulous FIND!
    The woman who originally wore this gown was probably a raving beauty who did not need a gown with floof, beading, or lace.  All that's here is a simple tie at the neckline.
    Color is an ivory shade, but a teensy bit whiter than the ivory shade gowns common to this period.
    The gown is in marvelous condition for its age; only imperfection is a slight musty scent, a bit of discoloration on the left shoulder, and a small tear under the left sleeve (see closeup photo).
    The measurements correspond approximately to a contemporary size 10.
    Bust 37"
    waist 29.75"
    hip free.
    sleeve 24"
    length 58"
    There's a metal zipper on the left side of the gown.  And a very generous train.
    I don't recall seeing any labels.  Likely this was made by a very talented seamstress.

    .
    We love you, as previously mentioned, and we want you to love what you buy from us. Therefore, if you have any questions at all about condition, size, color, how we like our pizza, what our favorite movie is, why we still don't have cable --WHATEVER QUESTIONS

    days of end of auction. We will send you a reminder 4 days after the auction ends, if payment has not yet been received. This is NOT an attempt to intimidate you -- remember, we

    We have taken a graduate-level class in packing stuff from an eBayer with, like, a 194,999,339 feedback rating. And even though she gave us an A+ for the class, that doesn't mean that the folks at the post office won't mistakenly break or lose your item. Therefore,
    insurance is greatly encouraged, since we would be devastated if anything happened to your stuff. And sadly, if you don't insure and something goes wrong, we can't be held responsible since a) we wrap like champs, really and b) we can't ride in the truck with the USPS people, so we can't prevent anything from happening on their end
    .
    Lastly, we LOVE you and want you to have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2019!
