Yesterday evening I received my latest purchase from etsy Usa: a beautiful edwardian (original) wedding gown,which I dated 1912 after some researches on websites. Up to now,I purchased many antique accessories (a mesh purse,a pair of early '900 leather gloves,a 50s purse and beauty-case...)but this is the very first antique gown.It's got some stains,but I purchased it because it was a great deal (only 60 euro) and I'm also going to use its pattern to create my own wedding gown. A part from the stains,it would have been to small to wear anyways,since waist is only 60 cm!!corsets were really the greatest part of a woman's wardrobe...
iron edges on the neck
it came with:
the original long leather gloves,which fits me very well
a reproduction of a late '800/ early '900 certificate of marriage
the original picture of the lovely bride who wore it,isn't it gorgeous?
isn't this dress adorable??
Wow, truly a great purchase! You are very lucky ! Beautiful gown :)
