I often wondered the same thing. My dad is the curator of a very small south texas town museum. There are a few victorian wedding dresses in there and they are not of the same design.
I took pictures but the glass they have on there is very reflective and they did not come out well. My favorite has a tulle that is beaded over laying the dress ... it is just beautiful. I will throw up the pictures if anyone wants to see them. Just let me know. Chiara On Thu, January 4, 2007 10:44 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > > In a message dated 1/4/2007 11:29:29 A.M.
