Brown silk wedding dress worn by Etta Reed West in 1886; IIRC, she made it herself as she was a local dressmaker? chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/D8...#FashionHistory
Technically I'm not 100% sure this one was actually worn for a wedding, but that's the provenance. "Pensée" blue/violet silk, supposed to have been worn by Julia Kennedy Coolidge in 1865 but more likely from later in the decade. chapmanmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/AB...#FashionHistory
