About MeThis subtle, flowy and romantic print dress was worn by the bride to her wedding at St John The Evangelist Episcopal Church, Aberdeen, in November 1932.
Dresses made from fabric cut on the bias, like this one, ensured a stylish, figure-hugging fit, and were very much in vogue in the 1930s.The small size and simple shape of this dress is complemented by the delicate floral sprays in pinks, oranges, yellows and blues.
