32V iv one-of-a-kind breathtaking (Cahill of Beverly Hills) RESTORATION. No size is indicated. I think it closely approximates a 6 (see measurements). I believe this gown is meant to hug the shoulders, but the mannequin is too small to hold the top of the dress up properly. I see nothing major wrong with this gown. This gown does not zip! It has 34 REAL BUTTONS all the way up the back! The 34 buttons have been re-secured. The only other two minor items to be corrected on this vintage gown are: re-baste the facing on the hem, remove those wrinkles. This is a bargain! It is very well made and was a very expensive gown when it was new. It is a very elegant looking gown. I do not know what the material is, but it reminds me of a matte satin. Email us if you have any questions.	BBears32 sz 6 Regular price: $600.00 RESTORATION

#66V Southern Belle (restoration). The gown is extraordinarily clean (I can't tell that it's been worn).

It just needs a bit of final sewing to close up the back where the train has been modified to make it a floor length gown. bust/waist: 34-28. What a beauty! Email us with questions.

Jessica McClintock lace gown is so beautiful. I love what McClintock does with laces! It is a soft off white satin under dress with a white lace overlay. It might also be considered light ivory.

This is a vintage wedding gown that was removed from the gown preservation box for these photos. This gown is under restoration for some minor lace breaks and seam reinforcement. I do not know the era of this gown, but because of the style, would guess it to be between 50's and 60's. It has a net crinoline to give it fullness, but one would need to purchase a slip because the crinoline would be scratchy without one.	BBearsSB sz 0-2 Restoration
