Summary
A doll's cream satin sleeveless wedding dress with an embroidered pattern all over it. The neck and arm holes are trimmed with white lace. A length of cream satin ribbon is sewn onto the front of the high waistband, and the remaining ribbon forms two ties to left and right. There are two imitation pearl buttons on the front of the bodice, a third is missing. It fastens at the back with three press studs. The back of the skirt is longer than the front, creating a train effect. Accompanying the dress is a cream net square trimmed with lace (the wedding veil) and a wedding tiara, formed from a pipe cleaner with artificial buds and flowers wound around it. Total number of items is 3.
