Vintage Wedding Dress Victorian Revival Ballgown Antebellum Cupcake Layers

This may be one of the POOFIEST dresses to date! This piece is a favorite for This dress is an elegant Victorian revival with antebellum influence meeting a bit of hippie style✨This one was made in the 1970s/1980s. It is a white ballgown with a high neckline and sheer mesh panel adorned with ivory appliqués. Draping lace covers the collar leading into a lace covered bodice. The dress has an attached ivory tie at the high cut, empire wiast lined with matching lace. It has a snap back closure. The sleeves are a Juliet style, fully lace at the top sleeve, broken with an appliqué lace line and into a sheer chiffon puff that gathers again at the wrist. The ruffles accent the backside upper bodice. The skirt has a lace grin with chiffon ruffles lining the side and working in tiers along the entire backside, leading into a dramatic statement train. Irish inspired lace separates each layer of the cupcake backside skirt and highlights again at the cuffs of the sleeves. Flaws: One yellow spot on the lace part of the skirt. One yellowing in the front lace at the collar. General yellowing/dirt at the bottom hem and into the train. I would recommend a dry cleaning for this gown as I do with all my bridal dresses. This one is pictured with a hoop skirt for added drama to highlight the cupcake layers. This one is most likely an acetate fabric. Flat lay measurements: Bust: 17 inches Waist: 13 inches Hip: 21 inches Length: 58 inches (to floor, front hem) Train length: 34 inches (beyond hem)
