One halter strap in included with the sample dress.
With ivory detailing at the bust, you’ll be so “bridal” that you’ll make satin leopard into a wedding classic!

The heart-shaped bodice has a Whirling Turban “Movie Star” fit which means it is made to duplicate your own curves and no one else’s. It has structure yet all the extra bulk has been crafted out of it by fine couture sewing techniques so you wear it; it doesn’t wear you.
A center bust dart is a vintage detail that charms. The lines are clean, the silhouette dramatic and the details are everything. Our full skirt is so flattering, and we use no gathering at the waist, avoiding bulk which makes your waist appear small and delicate.
Shown here with a few accessory ideas to spark your imagination but none of which are included with the sample dress.

Torso length: Cut for a woman of average height
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 28″A beautiful, meticulously made dress in bridal white cotton with a leopard print in the a pale neutral shade on white.
A metallic silver-kissed soft white cotton is used for contrast inside the “wing” and ruched over bust.
Sample dress comes with ONE matching button-in sweetheart halter strap. Also beautiful 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. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust whimsical and dramatic. Waist is dropped a bit to flattering advantage.
Lovely back view is all elastic ruching so there is no zipper to gaze upon, just corset-like channels of vertical boning. Very pretty back view for a wedding!
Since this dress is made to go with a crinoline, your crinoline will be the skirt lining, so skirt is unlined. (A colored crinoline will show through, so buy a white crinoline.) Bodice is fully lined and firmly constructed from three layers of fabric plus a built-in, boned bra section under that to give shape to the bust.
One halter strap is included with the dress.

IN THIS SIZE ONLY:
Bust: 35-37″
Waist: 27-29″
Skirt length from center back waist to finished hem: 28.5″Lace, tea length wedding dress!
Soft, natural white-toned cotton bamboo; you can’t get more polished than this. Luscious, vintage-true fabric. “Vintage true” means it has the qualities that give vintage fabrics their appeal and it does not look like a modern fabric sewn into a vintage style.
The heart-shaped bodice has a Whirling Turban “Movie Star” fit which means it defines the curves more than does a modern cut. It has structure yet all the extra bulk has been crafted out of it by fine couture sewing techniques so you wear it; it doesn’t wear you.
Crinoline is not included. Fully lined.
Layer of lace over the skirt, and lace is used over the bust in a halter style.
Our full skirt is so flattering; and we use no gathering at the waist to make your waist appear small and delicate.
Check with us about lingerie recommendations if you like.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This dress was a first sample and we intended to get the finishing measurements and add the zipper when we received the measurements from the buyer. Now our workshop is being rebuilt so the dress will be sold as is, with no zipper installed. The rest of the dress is completely finished. You can take it to a dry cleaner who replaces zippers and have them pin it on you (while wearing your wedding underwear), and they can pin the bust and waist to fit you exactly! Your bust should be average-sized as an EXTREMELY small or EXTREMELY large bust will have fitting problems and you don’t want to have them adjusting the front of the dress since that will become complicated. As it is now, your alteration person can simply pin to get the bust and waist circumferences right for you and put a zipper in as though they were just replacing a zipper. This should cost no more than $50, tops. If you sew you can install the zipper yourself. Grab a major deal AND get a perfect fit!
Lined skirt and fully-lined, boned bodice.
