Looks very 1950s.

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

That's it! Thank you. ☺️

I like the top part of the dress. I do not care for the bottom part.

Reminds me of Jackie Kennedy.........maybe it's the sleeves?

Beautiful dress and veil! I like everything about it.

The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

Looks very much like mine. I believe mine was organza. Long see thru sleeves that came to a V on my hand. No netting of any kind. No lace. The neckline was I guess sweetheart, not sure. All pearls. The train had sequins hither and thither. The sales lady said it had just come in and I was the first one to try it on. My mom and her friend came and the friend said, 'this is IT as far as I'm concerned.' hahaha. I was young and just glad I didn't have to try on even one more. But when I first saw the OP's photo, it took me aback for a second. Just the image reminded me of mine but just for a second.

Trivia-that morning after I was ready to go to church, I called my BFF maid of honor and said hurry up and do my eyebrows!!! OMGosh I forgot all about them-she always drew them on for me when we went to something big because I hardly had any. She 'got me to the church on time.'

BEAUTIFUL...that would be around the time my parents got married. My Mom had that tiny little waist too, i remember her telling me it was 19".

Take time every day to enjoy where you are without a need to fix it

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.

@beckyb1012 Your post brought a tear to my eyes, happy tear! How wonderful for your family to have those memories and shared dress!

I never had sisters or close family weddings--so I love this story! Must have been wonderful to compare the photos years--I hope the marriages were happy!

Adding: I had a friend whose mother had her picture on and her sister's picture in the living room of them in their wedding dresses. When someone would ask "Which one is you?" she would say "The PRETTY one!"
