This week’s dress form outfit is very special because it features a vintage wedding dress worn by my husband’s grandmother, or “Maw” as she is affectionately known by all of us.
R.C. and Audrey were married on May 4, 1946. Audrey had a double wedding with her sister, Jean. The four of them even honeymooned in Florida together.
The dress has aged quite a bit, but it is still quite beautiful. The satin bodice features delicate cutouts around the neckline. The long sleeves feature three buttons along the wrists and a long line of buttons dress up the back of the bodice. The dress is lined and has been covered by a delicate lace which flows into the long train.
The veil features a beaded tiara style headband and a long train.
There was no tag inside the dress, but it was stored in a “House of Fashion” box. Maw wasn’t sure if the dress came from the House of Fashion.
Fort Payne, Ala.
*Maw’s not sure if this is where her dress was made.
Here are some additional photos of the dress…
Even Maw enjoyed seeing her wedding dress on display…
Have a great day!
