$55.00
The Wedding Dress: 300 Years of Bridal Fashions by Edwina Ehrman is a lavishly illustrated survey of the history of bridal fashion from 1700 to the modern era.
Drawing on the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection, the book explores the evolution of the white wedding dress, changing social customs, designers, the commercialization of weddings, and the way bridal fashion has reflected broader cultural and economic shifts. It includes photographs, historic illustrations, letters, memoirs and examples from designers including Charles Frederick Worth, Norman Hartnell, Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix and Jean Paul Gaultier.
This 2011 New Zealand edition was published to accompany Te Papa’s exhibition Unveiled: 200 Years of Wedding Fashion.

A: Each book is individually priced based on its current market value, condition, and availability. Most of our books are collectable, vintage, many are hard to find in the 'wild'. We use actual 'sold' prices as a benchmark (Trademe, Ebay & Dunbar Slone) We try to price below market average to encourage people to start to resell books as a side hustle!
