Provenance:
The wedding dress was worn by Isabel Curtis for her marriage to Julian Day, at the turn of the century. Julian Day (1878-1947) was the brother of American author and founder of the Yale University Press Clarence Day (1874-1935). Lots 687-690 in this auction were transported to England around 1910 when Isabel and her husband emigrated from America.
Condition Report:
This is a large lot and we would highly recommend viewing it in person.
