is William Hartnell 1951 wedding dress featured in 's 2015 exhibit Wedding Dresses 1775-2014. A cream dress with lovely beaded work, I especially love the how the collar and pleats draw your eye to the middle of the bodice.

Here's an elegant 1902 dress It was worn by Jane Norton Morgan, the wife of American financial giant, J. P. Morgan's son. Her father was also a banker. She was quite fashionable, I love the crossed front and the orange flowers.
