Info:
♥ Circa: 1957
♥ Label: None, though veil is in it’s original box from The Jones Store Co
♥ Material: Multi
♥ Condition: Very good vintage condition, definitely wearable. Dress has some minor age spots and has more of a creamy hue (may have been a brighter white in the past). Hook and eyes have some rust, though still function. There is some stress to the synthetic interior fabric at seams in a couple areas, as well as mild stress to zipper’s fabric. As a disclaimer, there may be a couple holes in tulle, but none that we could find. Veil has some loose and missing beads and sequins. Some yellowing with unevenly cut tulle.
