I think then, for women, it would just have been her best dress, def. not white, and far from just being for one occasion, it would have been expected to do for many events for a long time afterwards. I think Queen Vic was one of the first to have a white wedding dress - previously royal brides favoured silver. As white grew in popularity, silver spread down the social scale as a fashionable colour for wedding accessories. Lisa |

Someone directed me to site about this a while ago but I can't remember the address. However I was looking for what the lady would have worn in 1812. If they were jjust working people then a new grey flannel dress with added decoration that could be removed so that the dress would then become the Sunday best. |

I'm sure I heard somewhere the other day that the white wedding dress was a fairly recent radition. |

Dear Karin I did my special study on wedding dresses & customs, so if you give me your email address I can send you some information. It might take a while to transcribe as it's all hand written (it was done in the 60's!) Jenny |

Most fashionable clothes they could lay their hands on (women, anyway!). Almost certainly not white, unless they were the idle rich. |

Why not try watching 'Pride and Prejudice' (can't spell!) I think that was early 1800s. Anne |
