About MeThis dress was worn by a bride from Banchory on her marriage to a groom associated with Aberdeen City Police Force. The pink, rayon crepe wedding dress is calf-length. Although it is still bearing some features of post-war austerity, it is modelled on the fashionable short cocktail dresses of the early 1950s.
