not sure about this dress

[retro_threadz]

Ive been wanting to list this dress, but parts of it are confusing to me. Please excuse the non-correct terms as Im not sure of those either. But if anyone could help clarify I'd appreciate it . The neckline has a thick piping sewn into, and the bottom hem has a sturdy seam-tape {not sure what its called} and it has a connected slip with lower tulle on the very bottom. I want to say its early, but that seam is throwing me off. thank you







this is the neckline

This dress is quite recent - probably within the last 10 years. The tape in the hem is called horsehair and it's there to stiffen the hem so it holds its shape.

I agree, last 10 years or so.

You're welcome! I've never seen that treatment in the neckline before. Since this was dressmaker made, she may have come up with a technique to face the neckline so it held its shape too.

It makes me wonder if perhaps it was a custom made gift from the bride to a bridesmaid (Melissa).
