As we go through these clothes we have a tendency to put a story with them....a story we just dream up. Rarely do we have information of any kind on these garments.
This one, I just imagine, is Clara's wedding dress when she married her second husband. She married Reverend William Layson on January 1, 1900. The style would fit that time. And why else would she save it? Hummm, I wonder if there is a wedding picture laying around in the closet... Anyhow, I love this dress.
