About MeThis wedding dress was worn at Portlethen Parish Church in June 1976 and was then worn a year later, at the same church, by the bride's sister.
This full-length, A-line wedding dress features a polyester lace bodice to the waist that lengthens to a small cape at the back. The rest of the skirt is made up of a layer of silk organza over an acetate underskirt. The sleeves are long, of silk organza and are heavily layered. The waistline is decorated with a full-length, cream-coloured ribbon at the front.
