1950's "Paulette" Fifties Princess Cinderella Bridal Gown

1950's "Paulette" Fifties Princess Cinderella Bridal Gown

This gown is "for real." “Paulette” is five piece gown fit for a fifties princess. The bustier and separate cascading overskirt are made from a sparkling champagne silk dupioni lined with a contrasting pale pink dupioni on the fold over edge of the bodice and lining the entire skirt and modest train. The pink silk is visible in the folds of the skirt as it falls from the waist in soft pleats to the floor. The bouffant underskirt is a fairy tale confection of numerous feather light layers of the palest pink tulle, net and silk organza. “Paulette” also comes with a seven-foot long shawl of champagne dupioni and lined with pink silk dupioni. This is truly a dress borrowed from a debutante’s dreams.

This lovely dress is stitched in a buttery golden silk charmeuse with an overlay of caramel lace. The silk under-dress is princess-line, five-gore skirt fitted closely at the bodice and waist and is sleeveless with a sweetheart neckline. The overdress adds an air of modesty with a princess-line bodice, wrist-length leg-o-mutton sleeves that fasten with 4 loop and button closures, a high rounded neckline and fastens down the front of the dirndl skirt with 58 self-covered loop and button closures. The overdress made of carmel colored floral embroidered net adds a formal note appropriate for a church wedding. The head piece is made of a heart shaped cap of butter colored lace. A veil of creme colored tulle is attached to entire length of the head piece and is three quarters the length of the gown. »
