Tilstand: Brukt
Størrelse: S (34, 36)
Kjøpte denne vintage (muligens antikke!) og superunike kjolen på Ebay for rundt 15 år siden. Allerede da var det et optimistisk trekk både med tanke på størrelse og sivilstatus. Før jeg endelig ble brud selv, hadde jeg for lengst vokst ut av en str S, og jeg ville ikke ta sjansen på å ødelegge den ved å prøve omsøm.
Den har vært oppbevart i tett plastboks siden jeg kjøpte den, og den fremstår uendret. Hva historie og kvaliteter angår, er det likevel tryggere å lene meg på beskrivelsen i den opprinnelige annonsen, så om du orker å lese gjennom både utbroderende og svulstig kjole-engelsk, så følger det et helt lite essay her!
En helt nyydelig og definitivt one-of-a-kind kjole, enten som den er i sin elegante 30-tallsstil, eller med noe redesign. Følger med en hårbøyle, som muligens også kan krympes og brukes som armbånd, eller festes til en veske, brudebuketten e.l.
Men altså:
Gorgeous silk organza 1930s wedding gown with long train & headpiece!
Superb in every way, this 1930s wedding gown has many special features, size and condition details including measurements are below. Color is off-white. It is early enough that the textiles and laces used are not synthetic, the organza being silk, the underdress a silk and rayon satin, and the lace by hand with silk thread. It is meticulously constructed with great attention to detail. Waist is dropped and shaped, bodice is deeply scooped with a lace trimmed peplum collar front and back but the area up to the neck is covered in the sheer organza alone giving a modest decolletage. Note that the darts below the bosom are meant to be open at the top, won't show when worn on a real body. Sleeves are long and made of one layer of the sheer organza alone, buttoned lavishly at the wrist. Back is zippered. Skirt has an organza overlay with satin beneath and there is one pickup front right (as you face the gown) that is secured with a lace rosette that has fabric Lily-of-the-Valley flowers at its center. Lace is Chantilly done in silk thread, pretty rare, and it trims the collar with a narrow version of the wider lace that goes around the entire hem of the gown including the train. The lace trim alone is worth the first bid price on this extraordinary gown.
In the center of the train there is a piped satin wristband holder, meant to allow the bride to pick up her train and move around with it -- it shows wrinkles around it from storage, in fact the whole gown is fairly well wrinkled but will press or steam out beautifully. Please note that the underskirt is very full to match the organza overlay, picture does not show this well. The gown is quite clean and must have been professionally prepared for storage. Due to its construction and materials it is lightweight and should be comfortable to wear, especially in warmer weather.
Matching headpiece is dainty and pretty, made of silk organza with rolled edges and made into little florets with pearly centers. The florets are attached to a silk tape-covered flexible band, all made by hand. It is sized to go around a chignon-like hairdo or be the base for a veil and used as a crown, not big enough to go around the whole front of the head.
This is one of most charming and authentic gowns we have ever seen in our travels and its wonderful condition means it can actually be worn again with standard preparation. It is an exquisite example of early 20th century formal wear and looks as if it was custom made for the original wearer.
Measurements: Dress is too big for our tiny mannequin, perhaps can be worn by a size 4 to 6 to 8 with adjusting. Note the measurements and compare them to a garment that already fits well.
Natural waist area, which is the smallest part, is 24" around. From the front of the natural waist down to the front hem edge, skirt part measures 43". At the back, the train is about 57" longer than the front for a dramatic effect. At the bodice the shoulders are 15" across the top, bust is 34" around including the additional darted fullness in front, hips are free and full. Sleeves measure 23" from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the buttoned side of the wrist and extend on the other side of the wrist another 2" shaped to a point. Headband is a beauty and measures about 4" stretched out. Note that the fit on the mannequin is not tight at the front waistline, will be flatteringly snug on the right size body.
Condition: Garment is in excellent condition, no flaws noted and it is clean with only a professional type steaming needed. Headpiece is in excellent condition as well.
