My guess is early 80s because of the peplum style, but if anyone can narrow it more specifically, LMK . The back is all those fancy buttons rather than a zip. and the tag is Bridal Originals

This was the only clothing item at an auction i recently attended. I normally don't buy wedding gowns, but what made me want to make sure it got to someone who would appreciate it was also the fact that along with the dress and
veil, the bride had saved a dried flower and a bow from the bouquet, the slip, the garters, a strapless bra, and there was a white nghtgown that could have been part of the trousseau as well but it might not have been.

I figure someone around Halloween might want to go as a bride with her friends being tacky bridesmaids, or you never know with the revival of 70s and 80s there may be a more budget minded bride who doesn't like the Vera Wang look. it could be a fun theme wedding. powder blue tuxes, anyone? :)

Needs a crinoline and my gal is a bit too tall for it.

The dress i think is one size big for her. the bust darts don't really fill out like they should. I may put the bra on her. But i think it would also help if i buttoned all the buttons. There are many many of them all the way up to the neck. I think i am going to put the bra and slip and stuff on her and then photo all the other pieces too.

this is the kind of wedding dress i wanted when i was small!

My sister has been thinking about her princess wedding dress since she was a toddler. and she is crazy because she bought the dress almost 2 years before the wedding because she wanted her dress. She gets married 1 year from this month. she better no gain a lot of weight that's all i can say.

I must have been a weird kid. I didn't. and i just bought the first dress that fit me/or could minorly be altered too. I am such a party pooper.
 
I have my 70s wedding dress. I should pull it out. :duh:

I think you are right on the early 80s. Wow, and it comes with the veil, too! Did you get this last night?
 
No, i got this thursday night. I did a post about the alligator toiletry case on friday, i think, and still have a few other goodies to bring out.

Wow, and it comes with the veil, too!

all a bride needs to buy is pantyhose or stockings and panties...and of course shoes. Everything else is included, provided that the bride to be is the same bra size as the original bride. There are even two garters..one to keep and one to throw :)

Chris, you were going to share your wedding pictures. Did you ever? Now you have me wondering about your dress. LOL
 
Another vote for late 70s or early 80s Chris. I like the peplum skirt.
