Silk tissue wedding lehenga heavy zardosi sz 34 (XS)

Very heavy hand-embroidered traditional wedding lehenga

Silk tissue 1980s wedding lehenga with heavy zardosi embroidery and small glass crystals. This lehenga weighs close to 5 lbs! The lehenga is a traditional 3/4-circle skirt with heavy embroidery all around, and little bells every so often along the border. The dupatta is heavily embroidered all along the length. This lehenga is pre-owned in very good condition and very clean. There are some light stains on the blouse, visible in the photos.

Condition: in excellent vintage condition, worn once for the ceremony and carefully stored away since. The embroidery is in excellent condition. Fabric: Silk tissue.

I have had the blouse dry-cleaned but not the dupatta or lehenga (they look good and I don't trust any of our local dry cleaners with a treasure like this.) The blouse has light stains that did not come out with normal cleaning, but they are not especially noticeable. I did not find any stains, holes, or damaged embroidery on the lehenga or dupatta.
