This is a lace garment with puff sleeves, a frilled neckline and bow and beading embellishments. There is a net layer under the shell with a lace edge at the bottom. There is also an inbuilt petticoat layer made from polyester lining and netting. The garment looks in pretty good condition however where there is elastic – that is on the shoulder and base of sleeve, this will need replacing. The garment does not have a train. Could possibly be a debutante gown but can be worn as a wedding dress. |
