Embroidered Cream Tulle 1950's Wedding Dress w/ Cropped Jacket

Embroidered Cream Tulle 1950's Wedding Dress w/ Cropped Jacket

The color of this dress is a little perplexing... at first I thought it was discolored and went to put it on the "to be cleaned" rack, but then I realized that the dress is actually meant to be cream and the effect of the air space under the gathers/ruffles was giving it a bit of a greyish hue... it still may not be 100% as bright as it originally once was, but it is not really discolored as I had originally thought. ANYWAY... the dress is beautiful. Constructed from a lovely floral embroidered tulle. Strapless, asymmetrical bodice with ruffles at the left side. Dress has a super full ruffled.tiered skirt wth an embroidered tulle overlay (shown with a crinoline... not included). Rear metal zipper (zipper is fully functional, the dress was just too small for the form). Matching cropped jacket with button front and buttoned sleeves.Get it here

Shoulder straps are gathered/ruched and can either be tied in a bow or left hanging, we show it both ways. The fabric is a very pale ivory not pure stark white and we think it's a silk but it's not labeled so we're not sure. It could be a fine flowy taffeta.
