About MeThis dress was worn by a bride at her wedding in King's College Chapel, at the University of Aberdeen, on the 1st of September 1956. The Chapel is available to alumni of the University. Costing £20, the dress is thought to have been purchased at Falconers in Aberdeen.
The dress features a medieval-style neckline with a glittery lurex thread and lace bodice over a bouffant skirt made up of layers of tulle.
