Vintage 1960s White Mod Cottagecore Wedding Dress with Watteau Train and Lace


I am clearing out part of my vintage wedding dress collection.


Estimated modern medium and likely best for someone shorter/petite - but PLEASE see measurements to confirm and/or make your own best judgment call. Please keep in mind, when looking at the measurements, there really is not any stretch. 


This dress was soaked / hand laundered, but will absolutely need to be pressed / steamed. This will either be shipped in a large polymailer or folded and shipped in a box. Again, it will absolutely need to be pressed / steamed.


FEATURES:

Dress itself is a zip closure but there are also button closures as well for the bodice and overlay. Lace accents with a few pearl bead accents on the bodice as well as a few floral appliqués with pearls in the center. Sheer sleeves. Top layer is a sheer organza (likely synthetic) overlay.


COLOR: white with a slight cream undertone due to age


WOUNDS FROM TIME:

A couple of buttons have some discoloration.

One small spot.

I think it is missing one of the floral appliqués on the back (or that thread is a loop that was used to bustle the train and broke…) - see photo

Some discoloration near hem and a couple marks near bottom portion of train. See photos.
