“She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.” This is a famous quote by Louisa May Alcott. In today’s society, people are often judged on their appearances. This doesn’t just stop at race or gender, but people are also often judged on the style of clothes they wear. There is one particular day in a woman’s life where everyone inspects her and critiques what she is wearing. This one day is a woman’s wedding day. The focus on a woman’s wedding dress began in the 1800’s. The color of the dress was very important. Each one symbolized something different. White was virginal, blue was for fertility, pink was unlucky, and so on. Princesses felt pressure to please the country they were entering into, so getting an exquisite wedding dress was a must. Today, the focus on royal weddings is almost minuscule. The average woman does not feel distressed about impressing another country, but rather her future in-laws. Obviously, by looking at this wedding dress one can tell that the original owner was not trying to impress anyone. To the average person it probably looks like a Good Will donation, but I wouldn’t sell this dress for any amount of money in the world, let alone give it away. The dress is flimsy and somewhat sheer. Turquoise is the main color of the dress but very thin green, blue, brown, and black lines accent it. The lines run vertical starting at the Peter Pan collar, the entire way down to the hem of the dress.
