This stunning dress was a big project of love to get to the state it is in now. It has been washed, pressed and mended! The final photo shows the before and after transformation.

The decade estimate would be between the late 1960s to early 1980s. Blush lace had a huge moment in the spotlight during this time and is wonderfully present with this gown. Although it may be used as a wedding dress, it has a soft yellow accent tone to areas of the bodice and soft pinks in the flowers and ruffles. You could use it for a wedding or for an event of your choosing. You will absolutely feel like the Belle of the Ball when wearing this lovely piece.

Condition: This gown has been restored to its previous condition, however there are areas that I found irreparable with my current skill level and supplies. This includes some small mending that was done previously and some spot discoloration that would not lift in some select areas (as seen in photos, ie the buttons). There may be some additional mending done, if desired, on the inner lining but overall the gown is jaw dropping, so much so that it is hard to notice flaws unless you are really looking for them. Small signs of wear on right side mesh of upper bodice netting, also shown in photos.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Washington.
