Parachute Wedding Dress

I love wedding dresses. I love vintage gowns, maybe that's why I like wedding dresses so much, the fullness, the flow, the ripples, the bodice, the lace, the special feeling when wearing one (a gown or wedding dress.) So, two guesses as to why I like this wedding dress so much....

yup, the ruched draping and the fact that it was made from something that was originally something else besides a bolt of fabric.

It is now part of the Smithsonian, you can read it's story here.
