Yuki, Purple Silk Bridal Satin Cocktail Dress with Cape
Description
Purple silk bridal satin corset bodice above-knee dress lined with yellow bridal satin. There is also a purple bridal satin cape with a hook-in-eye closure on neckline. The cape is fully lined with yellow bridal satin.
Good condition. Black staining at hem of dress. Plastic zipper was added in the 1960s. Pink make-up stains on front of dress. Belt made from same fabric as the dress and jacket. However, belt is 3" bigger than waist of gown. Due to the fact that the zipper was a 1965 addition, it is possible the 1935 bride had a larger waist.
