About MeDuring the Great Depression, Hollywood films offered escapism and glamour, and wedding dresses were often modelled on the evening gowns worn by film stars. Brides in the 1930s favoured long, glamourous and romantic dresses.This dress has all the popular features of a 1930s wedding gown: it has a very long train, it is simple yet elegant, and it is made of a figure-hugging, highly glamorous, silk satin.
