Size 4 Wedding Dress - Gibson Girl Style Ecru Net Bridal Gown Convertible Train

Description

A pretty design with a very antique appeal! This all-net wedding gown has a raised waist with sheer yoke and feminine lace appliques and a pleated frill to the neckline. Has a glossy taffeta band at the waist and matching trim to the wrists. The skirt is traditional and grand with wing-like appliques front and back, and an Edwardian look to the lines of lace & hem. The train extends about three feet behind the bride, and can be raised off the floor using a button & loop. The original tag calls this a 'butterfly bustle' for ease in dancing during the reception.
