This gown is a true confection of delicate lace and satin, with beautiful details that make it a standout piece. Could be shortened to modernize for homecoming. The craftsmanship is stunning❤️ Design Details:Bodice:The bodice features white fitted satin overlaid with an 8" flounce of pristine white lace. This lace flounce is unattached at the bottom, allowing it to be styled in two ways:Off the shoulder, for a romantic lookOver the shoulder, for a more classic feelA band of hidden elastic stretches from shoulder to shoulder, but we recommend replacing the elastic for a tighter fit.Delicate red ribbons tie at each shoulder for an additional whimsical touch.Waist & Skirt:The waist is cinched with a 2" red satin cummerbund, adding a pop of color to the elegant white gown.The skirt is a showstopper, composed of 28 tiers of 2 ½" wide lace that give the gown an exceptionally full and dramatic silhouette. Beneath the lace, you’ll find a satin-like fabric liner and a tulle underskirt for volume. Condition:Excellent vintage condition: No holes, one small areas of slight yellowing on the inside of the bodice (pictured).The elastic in the shoulders could benefit from replacement for a snugger fit, depending on your preferred styling.The back zipper works perfectly along with 2 small eyehooks.
