Not Tiki At All: Edwardian Wedding Dress

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48865&item=2876763011

This is my great grandmother's wedding dress my mom is selling on Ebay - if you know of anyone or a museum that would be interested let us know! It is way better than the pictures look.

Now I know who had a 24 inch waist in my family... but it wasn't me!

At least wear it to the next tiki bar crawl.

Actually, I tried it on when I was about 17 and still living at home and I think I only got one leg into it.

Ladies in the 20th century, regardless of genetics, are not as small as their predecesors! this dress is TINY!

OK, It might fit Purple Jade, but it's just not her style. there's no space foam.

Oh come on now...
You mean you haven't had your lower ribs removed & then pressed yourself into a corset until you pass out??? Modern women just don't try anymore. Sheesh!

Wow, that's beautiful!

I've dealt with a museum in Ohio (http://www.wrhs.org/default.asp) that has clothing & costumes... I'll check with my contact there on Monday & see if they're interested.
