The marriage of Minnie Wright of Old Whittington and Mr Douglas Wise Driver was reported in great detail in the Derbyshire Courier 12 October 1912. The descriptions of the clothes are given in great detail and from reading the report it sounds as though the sister of the bride nearly stole the show! “A toilette which was greatly admired was that of Miss Wright, sister of the bride. It was of fraise-coloured ninon, made with a “balloon” tunic, with a flat flounce of Florentine guipure over an underskirt of charmeuse”.
I think the sisters dress may have looked something like this –
