Agree with that call. My mom's weddding dress was a Rettingcoat / Rettingote (sp) style dress with the under dress styled exactly like theirs.It's heavy satin and lace insertion. The overcoat is cathedreal length and the sleeves cut a little smaller with lace inserts. She was married in 1940. I have the dress I didn't wear it,but I did prevent it from becoming my sisters kid's dress up toy. melody
