Description: Wow! This is a heavy satin dress with a flocked floral design (the flowers look like they are stipled). Tons of buttons up the back, short gathered sleeves, fitted bodice. I think this is from the 1940s and is in remarkable shape! The hem is clean as are the underarms. No holes or pulls in the fabric.

1940s Lace Ball Gown Style Wedding Gown
Item Number: WED6191
$500.00 sale $400.00
Measures:
  • Bust: 36
  • Waist: 28
  • Hips: free
  • Shoulder: 16
  • Shoulder to waist: 15
  • Skirt Length Front: 42
  • Tag: None
Description: Oh if only this was my size -- I would wear this on my wedding day! Made of a sheer chiffon over acetate, sleeveless style with an amazingly full skirt. Train is a part of the dress. Lace details on the neckline and skirt. Buttons up the back. Possibly home sewn. Lone fault(s), light wear on the lace trimming the neckline, and the hem is dirty. Also the dress has been let out, you will need to have it tailored to your body (that's a given anyway). Otherwise I have yet to find a hole in the chiffon. If this dress fits you, it would be a crime if you don't wear it on your wedding day!



1950s Creamy Satin Ceil Chapman Gown

  • Waist: 24
  • Hips: free
  • Shoulder to Waist: 16
  • Waist to Hem: 35
  • Lower Width: 200
  • Tag: Ceil Chapman
Description: This is and will remian one of the most amazing gowns I have ever owned. Made of a creamy buttery colored satin, the dress has some of the most amazing styling effects! For example, on the only shoulder strap, there is this abstract wave like form, and the skirt of the dress has what I will call wings flowing down from the side seams. There are two layers of these wing shapes, one shorter and the other longer, giving the dress the look of lucious yards and yards of satin enveloping you. The bodice has boning stays, and a lovely pleated bit of satin accenting your bust. I suggest a dry cleaning prior to wear, the underarms do have a bit of yellowing, and there is a watermark on the skirt of the dress on the longer wing on the left hand side. Otherwise the dress is solid in fabric and construction! Don't miss this opportunity to wear this fantastic designer's work of art.



1940s Cream Satin Wedding Gown 
Item Number: WED 6308
$200.00 (sale - as is) sale $100.00
Measures:
  • Bust: 36
  • Waist: 28
  • Hips: 38
  • Shoulder: 16
  • Sleeve: 21.75
  • Shoulder to Waist: 17
  • Waist to Hem In Front: 33
Description: Absolutely fabulous heavy cream colored satin wedding gown, with netting on the neckline and lace trim. Has a side metal zip as well as a long row of buttons up the back. Overall in excellent condition for the age of this dress, the lace and netting look to be yellowing from age. A dry cleaning will fix that right up. This dress came out of storage, (all wrinkles will steam right out of the dress) and there is a slight water mark on the hem (again, dry clean this before you get married in it!) No tag, possibly home sewn.  Email for more photos.



1940s Beige Lace and Pink Satin Trim Gown
Item Number: WED55063000

  • Waist to Hem: 41
  • Lower Width: 130

Description: Delightful and sexy beige colored cotton lace dress over pink/peach acetate. Has a side metal zip and a pleated satin detail over the bust. I found a tiny hole in the lace on the right hand side seam near the waistline -- really not even noticable. The straps show a bit of wear/fuzzing but nothing out of the ordinary for a dress of this vintage. I do think it was home sewn. This is a dream dress for your wedding day -- if it fits you have to wear it!

Description: NOw if this fit me I would never sell it! I think this makes the PERFECT wedding gown! Made of a beige silk, the dress is lined in a funky stiff fabric (it's soft to touch, but I call it funky because I think it's like a paper and felt like blend). Sleeveless with some of the most intricate lace I have ever seen. Very tiny holes in some of the netting of the lace (nothing totally detrimental or noticable) Metal zip up the back. The hem is clean as are the underarms. No holes or pulls in the fabric. This is a dream dress for your wedding day -- if it fits you have to wear it!
