About MeThis wedding dress and vest were worn at a wedding at Rutherford Parish Church, Aberdeen in June 1960. The reception was held at the Amatola Hotel on Great Western Road. It was the bride's second wedding, which may have influenced her choice of colour and style.The full-length, gold satin wedding dress featuring a strapless bodice with a bib front darted into the waistband. The skirt is lined with stiffened cotton. The dress was worn with a pale pink lace modesty vest, with three-quarter length sleeves and v-shaped neckline that fastens just under the bust.
