1950s marie antoinette guipure wedding dress, xs

With enough interior framework to stand fully on its own, this dress brings the fairytale and the carriage too.  Sculpted of ivory guipure lace, the dress is fixed in place when worn (in other words, no swish) and features a breathtaking flared shelf bust reminiscent of 18th century fashion.  Enough to lose your head! (Sorry, we had to…)

Strapless ivory knee-length dress with fixed pouf skirt; heavy guipure lace exterior with gathered and flared chiffon bust and matching chiffon ribbon at front center skirt.  Interior corseting with rear-clasping grosgrain ribbon waist and double rear metal zipper closure with top hook and loop; hanging loops. Fully lined in ivory crepe de chine, plus 6 tulle crinolines inside skirt for outrageous fullness.
