For study, pattern or display this antique wedding gown from the late 1870's to 80's. It is an off white of ivory silk satin. I had someone look at it and they seemed to think the bodice and skirt are not the exact same fabric - the bodice is slightly lighter in color. I could not tell and it is not that noticeable to me. The bodice does have a 26 inch petersham wasit band and bust is 35 to 36. The arm pits on the bodice are both totally ripped out and discolored. The... lace around neck and cuffs were removed. The outside silk and inside looks good except for underarms.
The skirt is huge with a waist 26 inches and front is 40 inches long and back with train measuring 75 inches long. There are large stains one in front seen in last picture about 3 x 1inche with a tiny hole. One on the front neat the side seam and one stain on the side seam Seen in the first 2 pics after the one of the skirt.The stain can be seen and is about 12 x 3 and 8 x 2 inches. Smaller spot in back center with a cut to fabric on the fold. The back has a few scratches and a couple more spots.
Inside the skirt is lined in a white coarse netting. There was a modern day fabric lining the waist band. The bottom lining in silk at the hem is shattering.There are stains on the lining. This dress was worn by Sue Power who married Keene Annis in 1950's and I have the pictures of the bride in the dress. They showed Morgan horses and were from Mass.
This is very heavy and international is on the Global Shipping Program.
