I just love it! Beautiful!

The things being sold these days for "wedding gowns" just seem trashy to me.

Just lovely....and how wonderful that you have such a family treasure! It still is in wonderful, wearable condition after all these years. Amazing!

Thanks for the kind comments....for the record, it doesn't fit, but we were able to button the top button in back, and the front is all we needed for the picture..LOL
My mom is busy making a lovely scrapbook of pictures of her life, and we didn't have a picture of Grammie in her wedding dress. Glad I was able to model it for her.

You both are beautiful --I really love the old dresses simple in design but embellished to the nines

Your gown looks like the ones Martha's Sewing room beautiful sewing/embroidery and they probably did it by hand back then at least some of it. Martha always loves to get those antique clothing. It's beautiful. Sue
