family history Dark Blue Velvet Dress This was the second day dress of Mrs. Henry Abbott, mother of the donor. It features carnival glass beading and a waterfall bustle. A hat to complete the ensemble might well have featured such a stuffed real bird as a parrot, lovebird, finch, blackbird, or pigeon. A "second day" dress was worn the day after the
wedding. This dress, as many of the wedding dresses, became a
"best dress." |
