Description
Vintage 1950s 'Priscilla of Boston' wedding dress with an illusion bodice with double layered lace at shoulders, three quarter sleeves, tulle underskirt, concealed zipper and hidden nude shoulder straps. Midi length / tea length dress.
This was the wedding dress of my dreams! I hope it can go on to have a 4-5-6th life - join the generations of women who have been married in this super special dress. This dress was tailored from a size 12 down to an 8-10, and a LOT of hard work ($!) has already been done by a talented tailor repairing any major rips & weaknesses.
In good vintage condition - as you'll see in the photos, I've identified all known areas where a fix may be required. This dress is 70 years old so it's only realistic that some of the lace has worn over time. That being said, you'd need to be looking carefully for these areas to notice them. But being a wedding dress and a significant investment, I wanted to be very transparent about these. If you need any further information or photos, please reach out.
The dress is a creamy white with lightest pink/nude net at the bodice.
I am approx 165cm tall / 5'5 and this dress was tailored to fit me (8-10). See measurements below
