Vintage Upcycled 1960s Southern Belle Wedding Dress

Vintage Southern Belle 1960s Cathedral Train with ruffled floral lace detail and sweetheart neckline. I am an 8 (35-28-40) and this fit me almost perfectly. Color is white but leans towards an ivory. I installed a corset back so the dress can fit an 6-10 now. Cinches in and can be worn with a petticoat to give more volume. “This gown was designed by Bridal Originals, and has the classic lines of many wedding gowns from the mid 1960s: I constructed a new bodice with the same lace, added boning, and enough inner layers to give it the structure needed to support an off the shoulder dress. I then took the old sleeves and used them to add dimension to the front and back necklines, as well as the off the shoulder bands. Delicate faux flowers, handcrafted from pleated paper, add a romantic touch. It is displayed on a professional size 8 mannequin and fits it loosely. I think it's closer to a size 10.” Bust: 36 Waist: 29.5 Waist to front hem: 45 Waist to end of train: 85
