SIZING
The dress is tagged a size 22. The actual measurements are as follows:
Bust: 24 inches across, underarm to underarm (48 inches around. I took this measurement with the material pulled taught.)
Shoulders: 18 inches across, seam to seam
Waist: 22 inches across (44 inches around)
Hips: Full and roomy
Length: 62 inches down the front; 105 inches down the center of the back
Note: These are the actual measurements of the garment, so please leave yourself room for comfort of movement. All measurements were taken with the item laying flat. The flat measurements were doubled to give an approximate measurement around.
DESCRIPTION
This is a stunning vintage wedding gown from the early 2000s made by Alfred Angelo. The dress is made out of a pure white polyester satin, and it has a decent weight to it (the dress weighs more than 6lbs!). The bodice is covered in white lace appliques that are accented with white faux pearl beads and clear sequins. There are similar accents on the skirt. The dress has a very full skirt, and there is a long Cathedral length train in the back that can be bustled up with little hooks hidden under the large bow in the back. The dress has long sleeves made out of a sheer mesh with beaded lace accents. The dress closes with a zipper down the back, and there are ornamental buttons over top of the zipper.
NOTE: I displayed this dress over a crinoline to show off the fullness of the skirt. However, the listing is just for the dress. The crinoline is not included.
CONDITION
This dress is in very good vintage condition. I did notice a couple faint yellow speckles on the skirt near the left hip. There are also some scattered gray scuff marks on the back of the skirt near the hem of the train. The last picture shows examples of these flaws. The dress is so voluminous that I don't think these marks really stand out from a distance.
