(party dresses for wartime)Wedding Ensemble in the global context.
Recycled theater-quality muslin easily withstands 24 hours of wedding celebration and drama, including spills, sweat, quickies, arguments with the caterer, toasts and some languid, stolen moments.
Goes in the wash, with borax and bleach, to be ready for the next sister. Add veil and flowers.
Neither fragile nor perfect to begin with; sturdy, supportive without being restrictive, and almost impossible to ruin, like the best of marriages.
(Muslin, back-laced corset and ultra long wrapping skirt. Available in more elegant, but also sturdy, fabrics.)
