Wedding dress, American, silk, c. 1851.

This wedding dress presents a conundrum in that some stylistic aspects of the dress appear to be later than the marriage date of 1851 provided in the original accession records. While the bodice has very fashionable full size pagoda sleeves, which were a new shape in 1851, the skirt with bustle, train and ruffles at bottom is more consistent with the 1870s rather than the dome shape of the 1850s. While it is possible that the skirt was re-made for a later bride, there is no obvious indication of that being the case. Wedding clothes have traditionally been vehicles for fantasy and historicism, however, which may be the case in the styling of this one. It nevertheless is a grand dress made for a wedding in Grace Church, a high society Brooklyn house of worship.

A photo from Spelman College. This keeps coming up on my FB on the anniversary of Spelman's founding (April 11 1881) on my vintage Atlanta pages, and I LOVE this photo SO MUCH...but with what I know about 1880s fashion, tbh it looks more like the end of the 1880s. Also, I keep seeing this photo with no information on who these women are, and that's what really saddens me. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can find out more about who these women were or anything, I'd really love it. If not, well, it is still a beautiful photo to enjoy

Physically I'm in bed, but mentally I'm walking dramatically down the long corridor of my Gothic Victorian mansion with my black cape blowing in the wind of my majesticness.
