1940s Tiered Organza Wedding Gown With Puff Sleeves And Butterfly Detail

Magnificent vintage 1940s organza wedding gown in cream/warm ivory. Features a high neckline with a Peter Pan collar, voluminous puff sleeves, zip and buttons down the back, matching fabric-covered buttons at the cuffs, and a corset-style top with an accentuated waistline. But the tiered, asymmetrical ballgown-style skirt is the true star of the show. The top layer is made of floaty, sheer organza, with three additional layers of fabric to give it volume. It flows and drapes as you move, giving it an ethereal, bohemian quality. The dress also features hand-embroidered butterfly appliques on the sleeves, which make it into something absolutely special.
