Description

White silk wedding gown. One sleeve is off the dress but still with the dress. The skirt has been taken almost entirely off the waist. It appears to be all there and could be sewn back together. The sleeve is pleated halfway around arms and falls open to half length with short white fringe at the bottom. The dress collar is decorated with the same fringe. Gown belonged to Elizabeth Susan Hall, wife of Dr. W. H. Hall, born 1817, died 1843.
