A glass case displays an original Lady Bru bust and a wax orange blossom headpiece typical of the time. The rare bust, made in the 1880s by Bru, a famous French dollmaker, was discovered at a garage sale by a woman who lent it to a grateful Faulkner. |
Queen Victoria, the "patron saint" of Victorian brides, married her first cousin Albert in 1840 in a white satin gown. |
The main exhibit area is home to several gowns, including an 1885 gown (far left) worn by a Jewish woman who emigrated from Germany to Texas. It is accompanied by a single original shoe. Tradition held that the father of the bride gave the matching shoe to the groom, as a symbol of passing authority from himself to the new husband. |
