1940s Ivory Satin Lace Long Sleeve Wedding Dress Gown Cathedral Train Vtg Button

Description

Gorgeous ivory satin handmade wedding gown with handmade lace applique collar, long train, and buttons fully up the back. Made late 1940s handmade by a mother and sisters for their sister to be married here in Butte, Montana. Gorgeous graceful long sleeves with button detail. Has a few minor marks and signs of storage, but no large, dark, distracting or easily noticeable stains. There is stitching coming undone at the base of the button close-back, as shown in pics. This is hidden by the folds in the skirt when wearing, and would not need repaired prior to wearing if the buyer didn't want to. It will be wrinkled from storage when it arrives, and will need steamed. Expect good vintage condition, but not impeccably flawless. (NOTE: I buttoned the dress one button off in the pic, my mistake! So the waistline in the back doesn't appear to match up-- but rest assured it does when buttoned correctly. ALSO the mannequin was a little too big to fasten all buttons, so several in the center are left undone. There are NO missing or broken button loops, and all buttons would close if the mannequin were an inch smaller.)
