my wedding dress came from a store that sold all kinds of material, it was closing down.
Each week it displayed several rolls of beautiful material.
out of one roll a wedding dress was designed and each week people would try it on and each week the price dropped starting at £65 oo.
Now this doesnt sound a lot, but we were in 1971 .
i heard about it from a work mate, and visited the shop in our work hour break.
It fitted like a glove it cost me £4.00, my veil and shoes all to gether came to 15 pound.
The material was heavy brocade with a design of lily of the valley high neck short selves bell shaped under the bust A line with train fit for a Queen.
