A spectacular example of an original 1920s wedding dress for a very wealthy lady, this dress still has the original train, headpiece, purse, and extra never-used pearl beads as part of the sale. Prong set rhinestones and unique beads adorn the dress, and if you look closely there is a butterfly in the center of the belt. The closure is on the left side and there are two layers to the dress. The shawl is lined in silk chiffon, which is ripping in some areas. Beautiful lovebirds adorn the bottom of the train and one is carrying a flower into a heart. The original hooks and eyes to attach the shawl to the shoulders are no longer there. As you can see from the photos, these pieces are in need of restoration. There are missing strands, broken closures, light stains, and holes. We have photographed many areas, and the most significant. areas of damage. If you are an interested buyer and would like more images we are happy to provide them. The head piece no longer has a closure, and when you look at the interior, you can see remnants of a tulle veil are sewn into the top. The purse is missing a wrist strap. We were able to find any label or note as to who made or wore this dress. This is sold as is, please view all photos prior to purchasing. We are happy to answer any additional questions and provide more photos or measurements upon request. Check out our other antique listings and save us as a favourite seller.
