Thank you so much for all of the lovely comments on sharing the book cover for The Dress Diary of Mrs Anne Sykes. I am so excited to be telling Anne’s story. The #diary begins with her 1838 #wedding so here a dress that would have looked familiar from the same year @FIDMMuseum
ALT A cream satin wedding dress dating to 1838 with a pleated bodice, lace ruffles at the top of the sleeve and a white lace veil on top of the head
There’s still time to visit @FIDMMuseum to view the “Art of Costume Design in Television” exhibition!
