About MeThis cream and satin dress was worn by Jeannie Ann Barclay (1886 - 1961) to her wedding on the 30th of September 1914. The bodice features a v-neckline, three-quarter length sleeves and a square satin collar that sits behind the neck. The collar matches the waistband, which features a small bouquet of wax orange blossom. It has a hobble skirt which narrows at the hem. This short-lived fashion trend peaked between 1908 and 1914.
