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

1950's Cahill Beverly Hills Designer Wedding Gown
Here is the most gorgeous vintage wedding dress / gown we have ever had... circa late 40's early 50's. Long, beaded & lace in front, and so glamorous! Something Marilyn Monroe would have worn. Metal zipper in back. You may need a slip underneath it's not see through obviously, but skirt is not lined. 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. It doesn't matter it is stunning and Cahill was known for their top of the line couture quality dresses. Get it here

Skirt is very full with tons of white tulle and ivory colored lace inserts in the front, sides, & back. Buttons in the back, has a boned bodice & rayon liner. The little simple sheer jacket has one button in front. Simply the cutest vintage wedding dress we've ever had. We can see Audrey Hepburn in this!Get it here

Metal zipper on one side, boned strapless bodice, ivory acetate liner is not pure white it's creamy ivory. 2 layers of white tulle on top. Skirt is not overly full or circle, it's more subtle, more 40's than 50's. Get it here
