IN THIS SIZE ONLY:
Bust: 34-35″
Waist: 26-27″
Back Waist: 15″
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 29″Meticulously constructed dress in an absolutely gorgeous satin that has a grey, black and white leopard print.
The finest quality silk is used in a soft white tone for contrast inside “wings” and ruched over bust. Dress comes with a silk strap and a leopard strap to create different looks look. The dress can also be worn strapless.
Our charming Wing Bust style was made after careful study of an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. We have customized it by adding more vertical boning -about every 3-4 inches- around the entire bodice and a dramatic dropped waist. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust whimsical and dramatic.
Gorgeous back view has no zipper! Hand-ruching creates texture. Fully boned all round the bodice so it clings flush to your body.
“Wings” can also be worn standing straight up to show the silk contrast inside!
Since this dress is made to go with a crinoline, your crinoline will be the skirt lining, so skirt is unlined while bodice is fully lined. Crinoline in the photos is not included; purchase your crinoline separately.
With a veil or fascinator, shoes and petticoat in white, you’ll be so “bridal” you’ll make satin leopard into a wedding classic!
- We have never had a wedding dress sale before. This is your chance to get this exceptional quality dress at a very very special price!
- Sale item; absolutely no returns or refunds! READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.
- Measurements provided are for the body measurements this dress fits; they are not the measurements of the dress itself “measured flat”.
- Whirling Turban dresses are noted for their beautiful fit; they are not “off-the-rack “dresses and so will not fit people who are “approximately” the stated sizes.
- If you need any help determining your body measurements or if you think you may need alterations, please CALL US. We’d be delighted to assist you personally! We only want you to have this dress if you will be absolutely delighted with it.

IN THIS SIZE ONLY:
Bust: 37-39″
Waist: 29-31″
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 29″Non-metallic silver satin charming leopard with very soft gray & black spots on soft white background.
Dress may be worn with or without the strap. Matching belt with hand-carved Mother of Pearl buckle. The skirt’s waist band is very “weightless” and non-bulky, so you can’t really tell it is two pieces, but since it is, you can wear the pieces separately after the wedding. The corselette top comes to the high hip area and makes a fabulous top.
Another nice thing about having two pieces is that this will fit you whether you are short or tall, since the skirt will naturally settle right at your own natural waist for a gorgeous fit.
Our charming Wing Bust style was made after careful study of an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. We have customized it by adding more boning around the entire bodice and a dramatic dropped waist. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust whimsical and dramatic.
“Wings” at the bust can be worn standing straight up or turned down for a variety of fabulous looks.
Crinoline in the photos is not included but we’ll tell you where to purchase the most vintage-authentic crinoline available today at a terrific price.

Waist: 26-27″
Torso length: Cut for a woman of average height
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 28″100% heavy, hand-woven silver-kissed soft white cotton fabric. It’s also available in ivory kissed with just a whisper of gold. We have this fabric especially custom-woven for us locally, one batch at a time. You will not find this luxurious couture fabric anywhere else!
The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust dramatic and whimsical. Waist is flatteringly dropped a bit. Note the alluring ruching above the bust. Clinging bodice, boned cups.
The metallic effect in the fabric is subtle and not high-shine. In fact, in some lighting the fabric shows no shine at all.
Sample comes with one pink silk sweetheart halter strap and one matching silver-kissed white halter strap. They are button-in and adjustable. You can also wear the dress strapless. Bows and crinoline are not included.
