BLISS: 19th Century Wedding Gowns from The Helen Larson Historic Fashion Collection


  • FIDM Larson Gallery 919 S Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA, 90015 United States (map)

"Yards of satin and faille, froths of lace and tulle, glimmers of beads and rhinestones: the stuff of dreams that clothed the female transition from maidenhood to matrimony. BLISS: 19th-Century Wedding Gowns from The Helen Larson Historic Fashion Collection looks at a century of idealized brides dressed in simple sheaths of the First Empire to complex draperies of the Gilded Age; each decade represented by the reigning silhouette. Meant to celebrate a single day, these rare ensembles continue to inspire nostalgic happy-ever-afters."
