This is a beautiful Victorian-style wedding dress. The icing on the cake: a matching Victorian hat! I believe it is from the late1970s, possibly early 1980s. Victorian revival style, as popularized by Gunne Sax in this era. No brand label, but it does have a ILGWU union label which dates from 1974 - 1995. Marked size 8, BUT SMALLER IN MODERN SIZES. Probably about a 2 / 4. Please check measurements. Fits my size 2 dress form, which measures 32 - 27 - 35.5. Ivory. Embroidered French net over taffeta. Embroidered allover nosegay pattern, each accented with sequins for a subtle sparkle Heavy ornate lace applique, accented with pearls. And, the train has buttons and loops to create a bustle!
