Wedding dress, 1826 Italy, Corriere delle Dame
I love Corriere Delle Dame! It is one of my favorite publications, but one you don’t see very often. I actually own an original plate from this publication. I need to get it scanned so I can put it up for you guys!

Le Petit Courrier des Dames, 1826. Kudos to finding early scans from this journal! It’s not one that comes up much and I’ve only ever seen a handful of scans from it (and they have mostly been black and white!). I adore this gown!
