Description

A beaded chiffon dress worn by Gertha Barnum for her wedding to David Arthur Linge on July 9, 1928. David passed away in 1939, at the age of thirty-one in a hunting accident. The dress's short length is characteristic of the unique fashion trends of the 1920s. Gertha did remarry later to Edward Norvell. (Not on display at this time)
