    Description

    This is a light tan wedding dress from the latter 1800's or possibly 1900's. I have repaired several lace breaks but the lace is very fragile, and if you wanted to wear it I would suggest backing the lace with netting or a shear fabric. I did lighten up some stains that were in the front of the dress.  There are however some staining I noticed when I was taking pictures.  There are some small holes, see pic.  This is a super cool dress to display and I invented a way to fit it on a mannequin!  Just a tip on what I did..... Bought the smallest woman's styrofoam mannequin I could find and folded up the stretch covering and sandpapered the stryofoam waist and hip down until the dress fit. Then pulled the stretch fabric back down. Now I can display those small waist dresses!
