Heritage Talk | Jane Malthus

About the event

In western fashion, the white wedding dress came into vogue with Queen Victoria. For various reasons, though, brides have chosen to wear other colours.

At this special talk with Dr. Jane Malthus titled Not always white: coloured wedding dresses as fashion and anti fashion, we will explore the history and themes of alternatives to the white wedding dress.
