This beautiful timepiece gown  is in very good vintage, pre-owned condition. There are no tears, rips, but a minor amount of staining at the bottom of the dress and also on the inside slip, but at the bottom edging

This is a completely authentic, hand made wedding dress from the early 1950's which obviously was pretty well preserved.  There is no 'size tag' as it was beautifully handmade as a type of 'juliet' style victorian gown with lace and beads.  Note the back where there are loops for the beautiful little fabric buttons down the top of the back.  This gown was made in Rhode Island by the lady who wore it to her own wedding.  

It is elegant and lovely with a beautiful train and loops to later hold the train.

I was told that the dress is a size 13, but please review the measurements below which brings it to more of a size 6 or 8 in today's sizing.
