Backstory: My fiance's mom has been looking at wedding gowns, as has my mom. My fiance's mom had someone in her family who bought a wedding dress back
in 40s or 50s and never got to use it. I've never seen it, only got a picture of it.
JJB, what do you think of this wedding gown?

I love the style. The train is detachable, so you don't have to wear it. I am definitely not having a train.

Have you tried it on? Maybe you should try it on? I think if you are a bit shorter than the mannequin (so
that it is floor length) and providing you have NO HIPS WHATSOEVER it could look pretty elegant.
Basically, if you can get it to fit like the green dress in Atonement it could be beautiful. If you have an hourglass figure, then its just not going to look right because of the drop waist.

Well considering it is about 60 years old, it IS dated.

Depends on what your body type is. It could look elegant on someone who is tall and thin but dowdy on a shorter, curvier person.

It has the potential to be pretty, but the fabric on the bottom looks...sad. What type of fabric is that?
