The fashion for the day....

On Saturday, August 16, 1969, this was the fashion for the day for me.

My wedding dress!

Trimming on the detachable train.

Other detail on the train.

Headpiece and veil.
The Husband and I are celebrating our 44th anniversary today!  Now we are on the way to celebrate 44 more!

Can you believe I still have this?

That "going away" dress!

I even have the shoes!

I realize there may be a follower or two who has yet to celebrate a 44th birthday, but for those of you who have, do you have anything still hanging in your closet from 44 years ago?:-)

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  3. Happy Anniversary! I am not surprised that you still have your wedding gown, but it has been many years since I've seen that lovely going-away dress and the shoes that matched it perfectly! You were a beautiful bride, and you two have had a wonderful life together. Congratulations, and enjoy your special day! Love you both, Sister!

  8. I keep everything, just not in the closet, so yes, I do have things that old, just not in that great shape. By the way, that going away dress looks quite short. LOL! Sign of the times?

    Happy Anniversary!!!

  14. I do. I have a dress from when I was sixteen. Aqua color with a little bolero. A sheath dress. Silver studding on the bolero. Very quietly done. And a skirt. Was my waist really THAT small???
    LOVE seeing your wedding dress and headpiece. The shoes too. T straps! That looks like a late 60's dress, the going away? No..had to be the 70's...
