Albert Cat,
I have etiquette books from the later part of the Victorian period.
They suggest that the bride wear her wearing dress for the first year
after the wedding. She is to wear to special events.
Yes, but often as an evening dress, and not necessarily in the same form
as when used as a wedding dress. It was not uncommon to make the wedding
dress so that it could easily be transformed into an evening dress
either permanently or at will (removable parts).
