This wedding ensemble appeared in British Vogue, May 1951. Designed in cotton by Horrockses Fashions head designer John Tullis, the dress gave brides a cool alternative to silk for a summer wedding.

The simple but elegant silhouette of the dress is enhanced by broderie anglaise embroidery around the collar and cuffs of the jacket. The dress also features pockets, perfect for carrying a handkerchief to wipe away tears of joy on your special day!

The ensemble was worn by Linda Faragher (née Sanderson) on her wedding day to Ben Faragher on 30th June 1951 in Berwick upon Tweed. It is possible that Linda saw the dress in Vogue magazine and said ‘Yes, to the dress!’.
