Cindy's dress was from 1982. This was a satin, chiffon, and lace gown. The lace on the bodice having a spray of pearls. AT the time of donation, this gown was color faded from time spent in storage. The dress was cleaned and bleached to leave an off-white tint.
Cindy's dress took one the most unconventional transformation. The lining of the skirt was used as a casing for the construction of the cage. The satin skirt layer shortened and reshaped to act as the underskirt of the cage. The outside chiffon skirt with lace trim was reshaped. The bodice of this look was lined in Cindy's fabric as well.
This was the only dress in the collection to leave the lace trim as it was originally sewn on. The chiffon layer was cut and reshaped from the waistline then reattached to the new cage skirt. With such a drastic change to the style, it was important to leave a memorable element in-tact.
