Hi Penny,
My Grandparents were married in England in 1916. I have a newspaper clipping
picture taken at the time scanned into my 'other' computer.
I can't access it right now, but from what I recall my grandmother was not
wearing a wedding dress, but rather what I would refer to as a 'day dress' or
suit. It is above the ankles, but also does not look quite like what is shown
in those illustrations. (it also could be that she is wearing a coat over the
whole thing, as it was February.)
I am not very familiar with the styles and terminology of that period, but
the dress (coat?) its self reminds me more of the dropped waist style of the
20's but the skirt seems somewhat on the narrow side, whereas her hat is huge -
almost "Gibson Girl" in style.
If you are interested I can email you a copy of the clipping. Just let me
know so I can have my husband to switch computers so I can access my files.
