Vintage Wedding Gown M Off White Satin Brocade Long Sleeve Beaded Dress w Train

Description

DESCRIPTION
This is a lovely vintage wedding gown from the 1980s.  The dress is made out of a medium weight bridal satin that is a creamy off white color, and the satin has a lovely vine-like brocade to it.  The dress is lined in a matching off white polyester.  The dress has long sleeves, and it has a drop waist.  The skirt is very full, and there is a train in the back that can be bustled up.  There are faux pearl beaded accents along the neckline, and there are also beaded accents on the large bow in the back.  The dress closes with a zipper down the back, and there are buttons alongside the zipper that close with little loops.
NOTE: I displayed this dress over a crinoline to show off the fullness of the skirt.  However, the listing is just for the dress. The crinoline is not included.
SIZING
The dress does not have a size tag, but I believe it would best fit a modern size Medium.  The actual measurements are as follows:
Bust:
18 inches across, underarm to underarm (36 inches around)
Natural Waist:
14.5 across (29 inches around, measured at the narrowest part of the dress)
Drop Waist:
16 inches across (32 inches around, measured at the seam between the bodice and the skirt)
Hips:
Full and roomy
Length:
59 inches down the front; 90 inches down the center of the back
Note:
These are the actual measurements of the garment, so please leave yourself room for comfort of movement. All measurements were taken with the item laying flat. The flat measurements were doubled to give an approximate measurement around.
CONDITION
This dress is in very good used condition.  I did notice a little bit of fraying to the fabric at the tip of the bow in the back (see picture).  I also noticed that the elastic at the shoulders of the sleeves feels like it may have lost some of its stretch.  It still has some give, but it isn't quite as stretchy as fresh elastic.  These are very minor issues.
