This absolutely perfect, "new" ivory white Wedding Dress was never worn due to a family emergency (the bride and groom did marry later privately after the crisis was averted). This beautifully exquisite flawless vintage 1980s bridal gown has all the accessories for you to walk down the isle! The tag is still on the dress and veil. The dress is marked a 20 US but I have a feeling that really is part of the item # and not the size there is no way this dress is that large. It is more like a US womens 10 - 12, C - D cup (please see below for exact measurements). If you are in love with this dress, altering it is not that big of a deal, so keep that in mind if the size measurements are a tad larger than your normal size.
This gown comes with almost everything you need - Dress, Veil, and Slip.
The gown top is stunning and shimmers with pearls and sequins while flowers fall down the sheer tulle wide cuffed sleeves. The bottom of the gown is beautiful ivory satin detailed with a rose and daisy hem. This set comes with a tulle 2 tiered fingertip veil that is dotted with flowers and a slip to wear underneath that has layers of satin & tulle. The train is long and can be held up in your hand by the little string when dancing like a princess at your reception.
The Models Size is a 10 and the dress is large for the model. Please measure a garment of your own to compare to the below measurements for sizing. The size is estimated to be from a 10 - 12 C to D cup.
