About MeThis dress was worn at Queens Cross Church, Aberdeen, on the 16th of December 1978 on what was the bride's second marriage.Notions of nostalgia surfaced in the 1970s and the style of wedding ensembles often referred to the unstructured and soft dresses of the 1920s. This cream chiffon wedding dress is long, and the waist is undefined, with delicate loose sleeves and a beautiful bead and sequin flower motif, which combine to create a dreamy quality. It was worn with a diamante tiara.
