An original 1970s wedding dress, almost certainly inspired the iconic boutique of the time, Mexicana. It has all the hallmarks of one of their bridal designs, from the silhouette to the intricate construction. The dress is pleated and finely pin-tucked throughout, with panels of sheer tonal lace adding texture and detail. It fastens at the back with a long metal zip and hook-and-eye closure. There are no labels.

Condition:

Excellent!

  • A very small mark to the back that has not budged despite extensive treatment!
  • A small mend to the lace at the bust
  • Some rusting to the zip/slight warping. Does not affect usability.
