I have three wedding gowns of this period, 1879-1884; two have confirmed dates.
All are two pieced. One is embroidered net, one of silk striped (2satin)shear.
The third (1879) is all cotton batiste with copious eyelet trim (worn by my
daughter for her 1994 wedding). All have 3/4 sleeves. The
The dress you describe in the photo sounds like Fancy Dress costume. I
have a great picture of my Great Grandfather and his daughter in
historically inspired fancy dress, ca. 1900 or so. They lived in Vienna,
Austria. I am waiting for the right vintage ball to copy their outfits.

I have three wedding gowns of this period,
Thank you all! I finally remembered where I bought mine (William Booth,
Draper)

I was looking for the non-handled type, and really liked the one I got from
them a few years ago at Military History Fest.
Thanks again!

for luceting.
