Starlet 1930's Rich Satin Never Worn Wedding Dress Circle Train

Collectibles : Vintage : 1930's

 

This is truly a starlet worthy 1930's wedding dress in a luxurious satin having the classic 30's circle train and, most amazingly, it's a never worn dress. The bodice has lovely deep gathers on each side of the bust while the collar and peplum are decorated with small faux pearls, clear glass beads and fine cord applique. The sleeves are long, but they will be a little puffy at the top when worn, and the back opening closes with satin covered buttons. The shoulders are covered with a fine net and the fabric is a heavy, very rich synthetic satin.

Condition is never worn but there are a couple of issues related to improper storage. Unfortunately, it was stored for a long time on a hanger and this damaged the bodice net causing numerous small holes in the shoulder area and back (see pics). The other issue comes from hanging next to a colored dress as there was a touch of dye transfer that has left a faint reddish shadow in the area of the right hip in back. This is a minor problem as it is just on the surface and will come off with a pretreatment when cleaned and it will need a cleaning anyway because the shoulders are a little dusty and there is a little dust on a very bottom edge of the train which drags closest to the floor when hanging. Other than that, it still retains part of its' original store tag and, in every other way, is a bright and fresh never worn dress with no holes, stains, yellowing or tears. Quite and amazing vintage piece actually as it's hard to find a starlet worthy 30's wedding dress which has not been worn.

About a medium in size I would say with outside measurements while lying flat of:: 38" bust, 30" waist, full hips, 16" across the shoulders and 62" from shoulder to bottom of front hem.

Shipping is $12.85 for priority.
