1875 Wedding Gown
Check out this piece of powerful prettiness on Antique Dress. It's a wedding dress from 1875, and it's in near mint condition. The bustle has those weird stacked pleats, which have always baffled me. I find the neckline enchanting, and the lace-up back is a fastening I've never seen before on a high-necked bodice like this. I even like the fringe on the skirt drape, and I kind of hate fringe on Victorian dresses.
It has seduced me. *gaspshockhorror* Yes, pretty dress, I am under your spell, and shall file you away for future reference.
I am also very much in love with this dress from the 1960s and this Irish lace crochet dress, ca. 1908. The construction on the crochet dress is really interesting, because it looks like the leaf/vine motif was used to establish a princess dress seamlines on the front and back. It also looks like the yoke was worked as a circle. Hmm, interesting.
