Re: 1956 Beautiful Wedding Dress

I reminds me of the dress my two twin aunts wore at each of their weddings in 1957 (three months apart) then my mother wore the same dress for her wedding in 1960.  I drooled all over those old photos when I was growing up and still have them now in my '60's.

I always thought that type of headpiece was pretty.  Is it called a Juliette veil?

 

The dress however, I don't care for, although it is very representative of the 50s.

What a beautiful dress.  I also think the veil is beautiful.

Looks very 1950s.

For me, I don’t care for lace or the layers of netting underneath (not sure what it’s called).

My headpiece was very similar to this one.  And I agree about the dress--too too!

The dress is elegant and does take you back to the 50's decade.  As a youngster at the time I would have looked at this dress and probably been in awe!
