Description: MY 1959 vintage House of Bianchi wedding dress and veil, from my May 1960 wedding day. Worn only this one time, and had it professionally cleaned, folded, boxed and then the box was sealed. For the next 64 years the box has been stored in my bedroom closet, dry and climate controlled. I am now 86 YEARS OLD!! and getting ready to downsize into a retirement home. I would love for some young bride to walk down the isle in this dress and have as long and happy of a life and marriage as I have. There is no size tag but it was considered a small, probably size 4-6, my waist was 24-25 inches. My height was 5' 4". The dress is in pristine condition. no damage or deterioration of material in any form. Not musty. This is the first time the box was unsealed in 64 years!! The dress was described by Bianchi as: "A GOWN OF WHITE BOUQUET TAFFETA WITH CRYSTAL BEAD EMBROIDERY OUTLINING THE BATEAU NECKLINE AND FORMING A DELICATE DESIGN ON THE SASH. A BANDING OF TAFFETA ACCENTS THE EMPIRE LINE OF THE BODICE AND THE FLOOR-LENGTH SKIRT WITH A CHAPEL TRAIN". The original price was $204, that was alot of money back then. The traditional style veil is also included. Please NOTE, there is some light dirt marks at the bottom from touching the floor. Although I paid the dry cleaner $49 (alot of money back then) to clean and preserve and box the dress it appears they never cleaned it. There were deceitful even back then. I dont think I can go back and file a complaint! LOL. You will certainly need to get the wrinkles ironed out of the dress. The box is huge and heavy, if you do not want it I can mail in a smaller and lower the postage charge. PLEASE ASK any questions you may have and i will be happy to provide all the photos of my wedding album if you wish to have.
