The Enduring Romance of the Wedding Dress


Not sure I will get down to Bath for this exhibition at the Museum of Fashion to celebrate the Royal Wedding but it looks great! http://www.museumofcostume.co.uk/whats_on/what_will_she_wear.aspx
As well as vintage wedding dresses, the display includes a previously unseen archive of photographs of couture wedding dresses from the 1930s.

And here are some snaps of my Granny in her wedding dress from the 40's!








I still have the veil and head dress but it needs a bit of restoration. Sadly not the dress though-
