About MeThis cream brocade dress features a small train and a low waist. The longline slim fitting bodice forms a point at the front from which the full gathered skirt falls. It has a narrow front opening neck with a stand up collar. The long tight fitting sleeves form a point over the hands. Romantic-style wedding dresses of the 1950s, like this one, were conservative in design. This dress was made by Romney, England.
