Thick floral lace that's more sophisticated than sweet, in a long-sleeved, V-neck gown trimmed in extra-wide passementerie braid. Inverted pleats extend from empire waist to hem, front and back, creating a neo-classical, boho Juliet feel. Long, slim sleeves with single snap closure. Handy side pockets formed from the sheer, smooth organza-like full lining add no bulk and are completely invisible. Back scoop neck.

Would make a wonderful wedding dress -- one that you could actually wear again. Beautifully constructed. Dressmaker details include snap bra stays, front bodice center weight, double bust darts, pinked seams, and hand finishing. Nylon Talon back zip with top and waist hook&eyes. Union made in the U.S.A. in the 1960s. From the Pam B. estate.
