<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lisa, post: 83749, member: 569&quot;]I&#039;m trying to date this dress and would love any input. I THINK this was my 2nd Great Grandmother&#039;s wedding dress from April 2, 1878. Does the style of this look like it could have come from that time frame? Why is there such a big gap in the back of the dress, showing the lace material? Would this be worn with something underneath? The lace layers are so sheer that the skin would be showing through. I just can&#039;t imagine what it looked like on someone. I&#039;m still going through pictures just hoping I will find the family member wearing it. Would everyone agree that this is indeed a wedding dress? In my opinion it seems so plain that I&#039;m surprised it was worn as a wedding dress. Does anyone know what type of material this is? Any thoughts are appreciated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Thanks!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/r4ZcOYr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/lgCzhJD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/wwc4wJI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/bkiG460.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/EJPsyqI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/y2fPEVh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/FVJPlTS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/F2OhSTc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Zap4r4w.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/dqho9X9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/5B9w8bN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
