This is a store sample of the 1957 by Mori Lee. The gown is simply stunning and has such a sophisticated, elegant look to it. Featuring a bateau neckline adorned with crystal beading along the top and a capped sleeve this gown is the epitome of "BRIDAL". The fit is unlike many other gowns in that it is a dropped waist, so it will fit to the hip, accentuating the waist, but still giving that fullness at the hip that a lot of brides prefer for optimum mobility. The back is a v back since the front is a little more modest for a little sass. A sash with a full organza ribbon can be tied around the waist for added accentuation of the smallest part.
This gown has been loved on and will need a bit of attention to make it in prestine condition for you to walk down the aisle in it. There is loose or missing beading throughout the gown and some pieces of lace will need to be re-stitched or trimmed off. Where the zipper is sewn into the gown has come detached on a portion of the zipper, but this is an easy fix by any skilled seamstress. The beaded sash that is on organza ribbon does need a little attention as well. The beading is separate on an applique and is coming off but can easily be restitched.
