The Ancient Matrimony Trails of Swiss Brides

Six decades ago, Swiss bridal dresses are in no way extravagant nor complex, especially since it was the time when the effects of the Second World War have been very ugly. Most Swiss brides during those times settle for a modest long dress that was solely adorned with the ivory dots that came with the fabric, and yet, they still looked equally fashionable, even providing a good contest against modern-day bridal dresses.

The most remarkable style of a Swiss bridal gown of the 1940s is a simply fashionable dress with the inner dress made of silk and the outer dress made of sheer dotted fabric carrying an embroidered neckline, a fitted bodice, a soft-flowing skirt, a pair of full sleeves with pointed cuffs, and a long train. Two of the more popular details of this particular gown are the back side, which was elegantly done with a total of twenty-one sophisticated pearls closing down the holes through the loops that were intricately sewn and the very simple yet elegant headpiece decorated with gold accents. Interestingly, apart from creating a fair disparity to the modern-day, more extravagant wedding dresses, the 1940s bridal gown has been adapted by many present-day Swiss brides most probably because it carries significant traces of history.
