Wedding Dresses

Having spotted the 'What was your wedding dress like?' thread, I thought I'd post a picture of my fifteen year old DGD wearing mine. It has yellowed with age but we were thrilled with how beautifully she shows it off even though it's two sizes too big!! It looks completely different on her - farm more 'hippy' than my 'sixties' look with short hair and pillbox cap (which hasn't survived)

Oh to be a size 10 again. (sigh emoticon)

Liverpool 1966.
Where did the years go?

Lovely mrs mopp you look so very happy.......and young!

I had a Rumak & Sample dress: creamy white silk with panels of organza sprinkled with silver 'blobs' and because it was snowing my Mum made me wear one of her vests underneath so that sorted out the something borrowed! We were married for 38 years and 2 months.

That's so lovely, Galen - can certainly tell it's you, and not just because of the pearls! grin

My dress from 1975 my mum made it.
DD "modelled" it 2011 when she came over for a fitting of hers.

This dress was ironed properly before I wore it.

Quite hippyish! "And maids come forth sprig muslin dressed."

Married in 1986 just a few days before my 33rd birthday and a couple of months after the groom's 23rd. I always knew he'd be a keeper! grin He seems to have aged remarkably better than me though; he could still wear that suit, but I wouldn't even get the dress over my hips. hmm

grannyactivist Sat 28-Jun-14 01:21:39

Oops! Will post again tomorrow. Hopefully the right way up. [dratted ipad!]

Grannyknot Sat 28-Jun-14 06:46:20

What a lovely thread this is. I don't really have any wedding photos, my sister in law lost the roll of film (no official photographer present!)

grannyactivist your photos are the right way up smile
