Wedding Dress (2-piece) off-white w/separate collar worn by Goldie Ellen McBride when she married William Allen Cowan at Crafton, Pennsylvania in December 1902. The blouse is yellowed (sun exposure?), but the backs of sleeves more closely match the color of the skirt.
The couple returned to Montana via the St. Louis World's Fair.
A descriptive card was later found with the dress that states: "Wedding dress with collar, slip, 2 lavender bows and white shoes with bows" was part of the wedding ensemble.
