Vintage 1950s Wedding Dress in Satin Brocade

DescriptionThis is a vintage wedding dress from the mid 1950s, in an ivory satin floral brocade. It has a fitted bodice in a princess line with a boat neck with softly folded collar and is fastened at the back with a metal zip and a hook and eye at the neck. The skirt is gathered at the sides and back with this seam and that at the yoke piped and a long train at the back. The sleeves are long with pointed hem and fastened with press studs, with covered buttons as a trim. There is a small pocket in the side seam of the dress and a blue bow stitched inside the dress, a traditional touch. The measurements are as follows: bust: 91 cms. Waist: 71 cms. Outside sleeve length (excluding point): 58 cms. Length shoulder to hem: 152 cms. These are the flat measurements. There is also a small quantity of the original fabric available, a piece approximately 261 cms. x 45 cms. The dress is in very good condition except for a few age marks, but these are more prominent on the inside than the outside of he fabric and are not noticeable. There are some small marks on the hem mostly on the train. The dress is very wearable, but could also be used at the basis of a theatrical or period costume.
