#115 ~ Mid-1970's (circa 1974-76) Buttercream Yellow Satin & Ivory Lace Gown w/Embroidered Cameo Illusion Neckline & High Collar

Very Victorian-esque, which was a sought-after look in the early 1970's. This is a lovely soft buttercream-coloured (very much leaning towards yellow) gown, but it does have some flaws (please see photos). If someone wanted to take a bit of effort, this could be lovely again. The satin fabric is in great shape, as far as being intact with no tears. It does, however, have staining at the edge of the train and intermittent (pale) spotting (most about the size of a pin head; one or two the size of a pencil eraser head) throughout the skirt. My suggestion would be to re-hem (thereby eliminating the staining) or make an overlay out of chiffon or lace to entirely cover the skirt. The back bodice also has a previous 'mend' in the net (see photo).
