The Wedding Dress Sally
Queen, Editor $4.00 + s/h Twelve new collections in North America and their wedding dresses -- great stories on dress designs, wedding customs, and fabrics of these America icons.. |
|
Something old, something new . . . something beaded in bronze? Something ostrich-feathered and aqua blue? This surprising book-on-the-wall surveys a much wider history of American bridal dress than the snowy confections summoned by the Victorian-inspired "white wedding" that has come to dominate the most evocative of our cultural traditions. More than seventy gowns, accessories, and historical portraits and anecdotes from twelve North American public and private collections prove that even what is most universal need be anything but uniform. Among these national treasures from 1806-1985 are the dresses of a mid-nineteenth century ship captain's daughter, an American silk heiress, a gold miner's 1863 mail-order bride, and Gertrude Vanderbilt. Featured Collections: January February March April May June July August September October November December Retail: $14.95 plus $3.50 shipping/handling Telephone orders: 888-266-7298 toll free in USA or 703-836-2407 More Information on Historic Underwear available from Sally Queen & Associates
