1959 VINTAGE ORIGINAL 8” BETSY MCCALL “BRIDE” DRESS B-119 TLC

Description

PLEASE READ! You are buying as is! Please ask any questions before bidding. I am not a dealer or a shop owner just a doll lover downsizing in her retirement. This original 1959 wedding gown I would probably have to put in poor condition because of the bodice and a section of lace loose on the overdress. The rest of the gown is in good condition with no stains or spots, and a light pressing would do miracles for it’s looks. The original rosette is still attached on the front of the gown. Both original Square snaps are there however the neckline snap is missing one side. The Original ribbon still attached to the front of the gown. The gown has some wrinkles from being in storage which again which would easily press out. The bodice has had a much harder life than the skirt, both under arms have frayed away at the seam with the left side being much worse than the right. In reality the bodice should probably be replaced. This dress could also be used as a pattern for making your own designs for Betsy. But I will leave that for the new owner to choose. If you should win this auction please pay within three days and thank you so very much for reading!
