A priceless full dress which has a fitted bodice and wide gathered silk taffeta waistband. It has a beautifully shaped lace top edge which is fully lined and has off-the-shoulder organza sleeves as well as skinny silk shoulder straps. The sleeves have appliqué and a pearl button closure at wrist. At the top of the shoulder the sleeves are gathered to create a raised and pretty puffy look. The top of the back has the same taffeta waistband which closes in the center with a zipper, which is fully covered by a large poofy taffeta bow with the same appliqués. The skirt has 3 scallop edged tiers and 3 layers: the top is a beautiful net lace with flowers in three tiers with a scalloped edge at the bottom of each tier. The second layer is a multi-tiered crinoline. The inside layer is a relatively heavy ecru lining. The dress is exquisitely made.The bodice could be altered to be fully sleepless by removing the sleeves and straps— If desired.

The condition is excellent. It needs dry cleaning which should remove the 3 tiny spots at the top (as pictured).
