Look at All These Ridiculous American Wedding Dresses
LatestWhy don’t you… spend the Wednesday before July 4th looking at photos of historical American wedding gowns? Let’s reminisce about the days before strapless dresses, when everyone wanted sleeves so puffy they brushed both sides of the doorway.
The AP reports that Denton, Texas, has amassed an exhibit of American wedding dresses from the 19th century to the present, drawn mostly from the University of North Texas’ Texas Fashion Collection. It’s like that exhibit at the V&A, but featuring regular women’s dresses and also #teamUSA. They’ve got early 80s Princess Diana wannabes, bustled 19th century contraptions and even a little cotton number from 1974, made from a Vogue pattern.
