Vintage 1981 ivory lace over satin Victorian/Gunne style wedding dress

Description

Vintage 1981 ivory lace over satin Victorian style wedding dress. Good vibes to you from this dress as we are still married almost 40 years later. We do not have children so I have no one to pass this dress on to.
I have included a photo of the magazine picture this dress was inspired from.  It is approx a size 8/9 or slightly smaller.  It  was hand  made for me. The workmanship on this dress is very very good. All the seams have been enclosed  finished and the dress is all lined. There are no raw seams on this dress.  The skirt is  a layer of lace, a layer of organza and then the satin lining layer. The top  is a layer of lace with a satin under slip that is attached to the waist. It buttons down the back to the waist then it has a zipper.  The bottom has three rows of lace and the under slip also has lace on the edge. The long lace sleeves have a lace trimmed button cuff. The long train has 3 loops  that you can bustle it up to the waist so it doesn't drag on the ground during your reception.
All the fabric and lace are machine washable but I only soaked it in the machine with a gentle soap and then spun it on gentle.  I would not recommend using the agitator as it may damage the lace.
I am also selling the hat on another listing.
