The gown has been sitting in a box, preserved, for the last 28 years. One of these days, I’ll open it up...I’d love to see it again. Who knows, maybe my daughter will wear it one day. It was great to hear from you. Thank you.

You ar...Oh, Gina, what a beautiful bridal portrait! You are such a lovely lady, I'm sure you were a dream to photograph! And that gown, just utter perfection. I so love long trains, and your beautiful pearl earrings are really catching my attention, too. Your godchild was so pretty. Love that pic of the two of you. You and hubby make a very handsome couple and look so happy! Now, truthfully, I probably wouldn't choose the same gown for myself today. Mine was high-necked, bishop sleeves, very Victorian-ish. I loved it and still do, and it was perfect for a child-bride like me (I was 18!). I did choose it partly because I was so in love with long trains but realized the trouble it would be, so I went with a pretty much "short train" and then made up for that with a super-long veil that I could remove. Thanks so very much for joining the Wedding Blog Party and for your adorable "Keeping it Real" post!!<br /><br />Big TX Hugs,<br />Stephanie<br />Angelic AccentsStephanie ~ Angelic Accentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612013128110737563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968366178250291227.post-31765161208779655732011-06-11T15:28:57.285-04:002011-06-11T15:28:57.285-04:00Wowsers, that was quite a dress!!!

Had to chuckle of the corset bra, too.<br /><br />You bet I'd wear my gown again, in a heart beat. My gown was simplistic, hand created stitch by stich, 25# (yup!) of slipper satin with a bustle. My Mother actually some of the stitch work on the gown. <br /><br />TTFN ~<br />MarydonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697196986038110683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968366178250291227.post-34341551894316163662011-06-10T11:54:56.536-04:002011-06-10T11:54:56.536-04:00Your were a beautiful vision in your wedding gown....Your were a beautiful vision in your wedding gown.

Probably not. It was fitting for me back then... Daddy's princess in a ballgown.

What a handsome couple you are too.<br />If you were uncomfortable, no one would have known, you look so pretty and happy.<br /><br />I would pick my gown again for sure only maybe not with the hoop. In that time, hoops were very popular. My dress was tiers of venice lace from top to bottom with a long train, that I too, had to bustle for the reception.<br /><br />So enjoyed your wedding party and all your great pics.
