Nearly Naked White Satin Deco Wedding Gown w Transparent Lace Panels - XS, 1930s
About the Item
You would be forgiven for thinking this is an uptight wedding gown because of its age and sleeves. Of course we would direct your attention to the transparent lace insets that discourage the use of underwear, and to the bias-cut liquid satin fabric that hugs every curve. It simultaneously reveals everything and nothing at all.
Vintage long sleeve bright white bias cut gown with five-foot train. Shirred bodice framed by inset lace at waistline, shoulders, upper back and down front at each leg. Princess seams down full length of back skirt. Long tapered sleeves with points at wrists; elbow tucks. Side zipper closure; single snap at each wrist. Unlined. **Please see final photos demonstrating sheerness
