From Me:

Alright, this is an excellent piece to show how to tell is something is a wedding dress when there isn't a note with it. Does it have a train? Yes! Does it have orange blossoms? Yes! Is it in a time period and region where white would have been common and therefore white? Yes Then it's probably a wedding gown.

  1. I got a big kick out of that train. It reminds me of a bird's tail. :-)

    1. :-) I thought it was sort of a statement piece. "See? I really am a wedding gown!"
