Vintage Ivory Hooded Wedding Gown 70's with Cape Lace Pearls

Mary Burns Boston

This gown is made of Qiana which was a silk-like fiber introduced by DuPont during the late sixties, and often used in high-end and designer fashions.
I was a size 8 when I got married in 1975; bridal dresses have always been cut on the small side, so keep that in mind.
The pit to pit measurement of the gown is approximately 30". I think my bra size was a 32A padded bra way back then; my weight was 115.
I was 5' 4" when married and the dress was altered to fit that height, wearing a 3" heel.
The dress does bustle in the back with three threads that hook to the buttons on the back. One of the threads needs to be restitched, a simple fix.
The hood is detachable and I have to be honest I forget how it actually attaches to the dress. It has three hooks for a hook and eye closure, but I don't see the eyes on the dress where you can connect them. Forgive my forgetfulness it has been 48 years!

The dress is not fussy as I was a child of the 60's and against a big fancy wedding. Mom won that battle.

Normally I do take returns, however for this dress I won't be taking returns because it is a delicate dress and I don't want to risk wear and tear by shipping it back and forth to multiple buyers and the cost of shipping. So understand that I have detailed any flaws and where parts will have to be repaired or altered.

Please feel free send me a message if you have any questions or would like additional photos. I know buying a wedding dress online is not an easy task and I want to make sure that this will work for you.

Thanks for looking!
