    Description

    Vintage 1979 long-sleeved chiffon wedding gown with Alencon lace bodice, tight sleeves & cuffs, small 3/5--purchased from David's Bridal  when it was just a small store. This gown has a short train that billows out nicely for wonderful photographs. The bodice is Alencon lace up the neckline--SO pretty! The chiffon sleeves billow out and end in tight cuffs of Alencon lace. Under the billowy chiffon sleeves are tight Alencon lace sleeves that hug the arms. (IF you don't like the billowy chiffon sleeves, you could have a seamstress carefully remove them and use just the pretty Alencon lace tight sleeves.) The dress measures 17" across from shoulder to shoulder and is approx. 55" from neckline to hemline (not counting the train). There are a couple of dime-sized stains on the hem that the dry-cleaner could easily get out.
    I loved wearing this gown for my wedding, but alas, it won't fit my adult daughters, so it's time to see whether someone else could enjoy it.
