A young bride from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is taking history to a whole new level. So, Abigail Kingston is set to get married in a wedding dress that is 120 years old and has been previously worn by 10 other brides on her mother’s side of the family.
Mary Lowry Warren, Kingston’s great-great-grandmother, first donned the Victorian-era satin gown in 1895, and was last worn in 1991.
Leigh Valley Live reports that the tradition of passing down the dress took 50 years to start because Lowry’s daughter’s had no interest in wearing the dress. Lowry’s daughter got married in the ’20s and wanted a flapper-style dress instead of the older style, Kingston explained.
It was Lowry’s granddaughter Jane Woodruff who was delighted to wear the dress for her February 20, 1946, wedding to John Kearns. The next to wear the dress was Virginia Woodruff on her October 13, 1948, wedding to Douglas MacConnell and the list goes on and on.
