Presented here is a fabulous 1938 wedding gown. This is made of heavy rayon silk slipper satin, ivory color. The bodice has ruched side panels, the waist rises gently in the center front and curves to the back, the neckline is cut work with tulle, it is appliqued with hearts, they are lightly padded inside and surrounded with hand sewn seed beads. The gown has 32 covered buttons down the back, they are working, have all the loops and none are missing, there is a hidden panel with snaps underneath. The sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and fitted to a pointed cuff with four buttons. The skirt gathers below the waist, it is about floor length in the front with a rounded  flowing four foot train in the back. It has the original woven label which reads; Bur-Mil rayon Bridal Satin/ A Cohama Formal. The fabric is exquisite, heavy satin with a silky sheen, old heavy body rayon silk. Overall excellent vintage condition, clean, no under arm stains, no tears. There are some age related flaws; there is a streak of light rust on the tulle at the neck line, some spots on the skirt; a little soil on one side near the hem and some rust spots to one side ( a dart could be added here), the dress shows well as is, could use a professional cleaning and/ or pressing to be at it's best. Absolutely elegant gown!
