I found this vintage "lovely" recently . . . and wished I had found it about twenty years ago! Wow . . . pure silk and a designer label. My wedding gown (not the one below) was Satin (aka polyester) and cost darn near a $1,000.00. It was a mass produced "Sweet Heart Gown." I really don't think it was worth it either. I can say that now, LOL. Ah well . . . . Dresses certainly seem to have gone
up in quality and
down in price since I was married in the early 90s.
Lucky for the current brides-to-be!
We didn't have eBay or Etsy back then either . . . so there weren't many options for buying resale. I would have though !
I was married in May and we had Lilacs throughout our reception.
They do smell wonderful : ) I cut these from my garden on the weekend and they are still going strong.
The wedding dress has a built in crinoline for a Princess look.
It has miniature buttons at the back and a large bow (which is removable) if the bride prefers.
The four foot train bustles up nicely.
I love the pearls, sequins and lace detail : )
I have listed this lovely in the
Vintage Bridal section of my
Etsy shop.

The gown is drop-dead gorgeous. Some size 8 gal will be lucky to find this for a beautiful wedding. Love the flowers also.
Ohhhh, it is so pretty. I had a real 1960's early '70's style gown. What was wrong with me? LOL? I love your gown, it is a dream come true wedding dress!
Wow that is beautiful. Your flowers are lovely too!
Blessings,
Kim
It's gorgeous! :)
That is just beautiful, my wedding dress was a train wreak, I threw it away years ago, ugggh the 80's!
Take care and have a lovely weekend!

Hi Karen...Hope all is well with you! Oh, I just love this dress...so beautiful!
I can relate...my first gown was awful...the veil was gorgeous, but the gown...back in the '70's, we didn't have a lot of choice...stuff was pretty boring.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Nancy
OMG - the dress is gorgeous...as well as the flowers but the DRESS...hopefully, there is someone in your family who can wear it.
This makes me want to get my dress out of the box and put it on display :) I guess mine could be classed as almost vintage, it is 29 years old on Sunday LOL and mine was handmade by a friend, every bead was handstitched too :)
Wow very beautiful wedding dress and very good flower bucks
The gown is fantastic!
