your mother's wedding dress

[STARRYSKY]

my mum wore an off white cheese cloth gown, ankle length with empire waist and long flowing sleeves, (wedding was 1981, dad wore white jeans, shirt and thongs!!) she still has it and has been worn to many a fancy dress party! ohh and her BF at the time embroidered little rose buds scattered all over it. I love it, but dont think I will wear it!

My mum borrowed her dress from her bestie so she didn't get to keep it. Don't think I would have fitted into it anyway as she was a size 6 back then!

We got married a month ago (yay!) and I wore a black and white dress. Here's a pic of the front and one of the back

My mum never had a proper wedding dress. I believe for her first marriage she just wore a nice suit with gloves and a hat, she did not marry my father and what she wore when she married my step dad was just blergh. She did have some gorgeous ball gowns, even at my thinnest I was not quite able to fit into them, my rib cage is just too big. If I had thought about it earlier I would have asked for Nanna's wedding veil (very 1920's) and seen what I could have done to make it suit my wedding dress.

My dress was not typical and I have worn it again many times for Medieval feasts. (If you are my friend on FB it is the green and gold dress).

lol this is an old thread.

My mum sold hers straight after their wedding. I probably would have worn it too, but she's not a hoarder.

I still have mine but on our wedding day DH put his chair on my net skirt and put a big hole in it.
I have kept my veil and tiara though to give to Darcy.

A friend of mine cut up her wedding dress to make christening outfits for her 2 kids (a boy and a girl). They were just gorgeous.

I bought a new dress for my wedding. My mum does still have her wedding dresses (from both her weddings!). The first one in 1974 was a long sleeved number , really really thick fabric that she had to get let out around the boobs and tummy because she was pregnant.. She got me to put it on once, LOL! The other one was actually a white suit skirt and jacket. Very pretty but not my style!
