A Wedding Gown from 1929

A wedding gown worn by Mary Brian in 1929, during the Silent Film era.

       Above is Mary Brian born in February 17, 1906 and died on December 30, 2002. She was an American actress and movie star who made the transition from silent films to sound films. 

       I 've also included below a film from that very same year she posed in the gown above, showing fashionable frocks for those of you who might like to recreate authentic bride's maids gowns from 1929. Perhaps you have some antique lace your grandmother once wore or her actual wedding dress?

"Three women pose in elaborate frocks. Four other women pose in more sombre outfits. A woman turns her back to the camera to show cut-out detail of her dress. A woman poses in floaty dress and fox fur. Intertitle reads: "Simple and straight lines are fighting a losing battle - frills and flounces are struggling for supremacy". More outfits are shown. Two women pose in identical outfits - very extravagant fur trimmed coat dresses. Elaborate hats and parasols feature."
