Fabric: Soft ivory cream all over flower lace 
 
Style: The gown is a design that was very popular in the 1950s with a nipped in waistline and a rushed bust line. On close inspection of the gown, I can tell you that it was once full length with sleeves. It was a tradition for some back in the day to change or recycle one’s own 
wedding gown into a shorter dress to be worn at a special dinner dance. 
Features: The gown has two layers of under skits, a heavy cream taffeta and a very soft fine tule net. The skirts top layer of lace is constructed with six shaped panels giving a flat waist and fullness at the hem. The bodice is backed onto a layer of the cream taffeta.
 
Closure: There is a metal zip to the side 
 
Ideal to wear for: Bridal, Events
