1861 French fashion plate wedding gown

From an 1861 issue of the magazine Les Modes Parisienne comes this lovely print of a classic Victorian wedding dress. Actually, at the time, even the purple frock would have made a great wedding gown. Many 19th century brides simply walked down the aisle in their best dress, along with a veil and orange blossoms. It was Queen Victoria who first wore the all-white bridal gown. Thus ends the history lesson. Note that my store has oodles more Victorian fashion plates and prints, on all kinds of EVERYTHING. Note also that my store has napkins that match these plates. Wanna see more old?
