Vintage 1920's French vanilla silk organza wedding dress with incredibly intricate floral embroidery. Styled with a shift torso with drop waist and long straight sleeves with a cuff. A partially attached embroidered scarf - stole extends in an overlapping V down the front bodice trimmed with lace and embellished with a silver beaded medallion. The skirt has gathered pleats for a slight flare and features a fantastic scalloped handkerchief hem. The dress includes a raw silk shift under dress with lace trimming the armholes and hem. No closures on either - you'll need to be able to pull on over your head.
