A Civil War Dress for a Bride
In 1861,
Godey’s Lady’s Book advised
that when one is considering a
wedding dress,
it will be seen that no person
is confined to any single style
or material. A bridal
dress that would be becoming to
a tall and slender figure would
look absurd on a dumpy person.
Furthermore, a fabric suitable
to the fortunes and probable
gayeties of a person in
fashionable city life would be
out of place in the quiet parlor
of a country home.
