Well my dress was in a plastic wedding zipper bag up until last spring when I got some of those dress bags and such that you vaccum out the air and store in. It will not be worn by my daughter *if she gets married* one reason she is larger than I was at the time I was married, second reason, she would not like it probably. It is a simple A-line empire look.. White with lace overlay down the front and a lovely train. My head piece was worn by a good friend and was burnt up in a fire before she ever gave it back! I am not sure what I will do with it.. maybe decide to make something from it.. I was married July 13th, 1968. So it is OLD! lol Not me though hehehehehe
