Fashion 1960s: Getting into the paper when you Marry. Wedding gowns are usually kept top
Fashion 1960s: Getting into the paper when you Marry. Wedding gowns are usually kept top secret. But this one is rather special - it is made of paper. It was designed and stitched by 22-year-old art student Louise Miller for her wedding in August to painter Paul Allcoat. Made in white crepe paper, the dress has a detachable hood, trumpet sleeves and is covered in flowers. Louise, of Vardens Road, Clapham Junction, London, also made the multi-coloured muff from crepe paper. But she would not break all traditions and be seen wearing her paper wedding dress before the big day. So model Sue Lynn tried it on. And her verdict? " Its warm, comfortable and makes me feel very elegant, " she said. Sue Lynn in the paper wedding gown. July 1968 P017523

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1960s, we are transported back to an era of unique fashion choices and unconventional wedding gowns. The image showcases a stunning paper wedding dress designed and hand-stitched by Louise Miller, a talented 22-year-old art student. This one-of-a-kind creation was made using white crepe paper and features exquisite details such as a detachable hood, trumpet sleeves, and an enchanting floral pattern. Louise's creativity didn't stop at the dress itself; she also crafted a vibrant multi-colored muff from crepe paper to complete her bridal ensemble. However, adhering to tradition, Louise kept her remarkable gown under wraps until her big day in August when she would finally don it for her marriage to painter Paul Allcoat. To give us a glimpse of what awaited the bride on her special day, model Sue Lynn graciously stepped into the role of trying on this extraordinary garment. Her verdict? "It's warm, comfortable, and makes me feel very elegant". Sue Lynn exclaimed with delight. This photograph captures not only the daring spirit of fashion experimentation during that time but also highlights Louise Miller's exceptional talent as an artist and designer. It serves as a reminder that even in matters as traditional as weddings, there is always room for innovation and self-expression through clothing choices.
