Norman Hartnell | 1933⠀ ———⠀ This wedding dress was made for Margaret Whigham, who would later become the scandalous Duchess of Argyll, for her first marriage to Charles Sweeny. The dress took a team of 30 seamstresses six weeks to make, and the bride thought it shockingly expensive at £52. British Pathe filmed society beauty Margaret Whigham and her as they emerged from London’s Brompton Oratory. The film shows crowds of women jostling with photographers to catch a glimpse of the bride and her extraordinary gown with its 9 foot train. ⠀ ⠀ (@vamuseum museum no.
