1950's Long Sweet Heart Wedding Dress- S
This gorgeous vintage gown is from the late 40's early 50's, made of ivory white rayon liner with lots of sheer frilly tulle on top.

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
1950's Ballerina Wedding Dress Set - M
Our current favorite wedding dress hands down! So rare and hard to find...circa mid 50's... in a complete original set. Never worn old stock from a bridal store that closed many years ago, but this was kept covered and preserved very well. It's in it's original matching state of a strapless ballerina tea length style dress with little lace jacket & matching pearl & beaded tiara... Add a veil easily if you wish. 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
1940's White Tulle Strapless Dress
As soon as we first saw this we fell in love...it's so romantic with the soft pink original vintage roses on the front and sprinkled on the hip on one side. This would make the most adorable wedding dress. You could even add more white tulle to make it fuller if you like but we like it as is. 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
1940's Embroidered Bows Wedding Dress
This is one of the most beautiful and perfect vintage wedding dresses we've had... Ever! Circa late 40's early 50's. The bodice is made of the finest silk chiffon with gold colored metal thread embroidered with bows all over. It's also ruched so delicately, even the straps are ruched and hang so glamorously. Lined in cream rayon with 2 layers of tulle on the top. There's a little delicate brass zipper on one side. Bodice is fully lined. This fabric is not pure bright white. Amazing!Get it here
