Description

Myrtle Felhofer's white (though now ivory-colored) taffeta wedding dress, long with train, sweetheart neckline, fabric buttons up the back. It appears to be handmade. The description from the newspaper clipping states: "White taffeta with princess lines, a sweetheart neckline, and a full skirt flowing into a long train, was worn by the bride. Her trailing veil fell from an orange blossom tiara and she carried a bouquet of orchids and Easter lilies. About her neck was clasped a strand of pearls, gift of the bridegroom."
