1953 wedding of Jack Harrison and Marcia Chayter


Marcia’s dress was made by Diana Waldron’s mother. It was made with %100 Italian embroidered nylon with short sleeves, a stiff petticoat under the bouffant skirt and a gaspingly tight corset underneath.  The neckline was modelled on Snow White from the Disney movie as were the bridesmaid’s dresses.  Daisies were one of Marcia’s favourite flowers, which were pouring out of the necklines of her bridesmaids, Berwyn Allen and sister Nerida.  Their dresses were pale blue nylon organza.

The cap was a lattice of netted pearls that kept her tulle veil in place.
