The Outfit of the Month series invites fashion enthusiasts to indulge in the fabulous style of past eras and explore the roots of many modern-day garments.

The outfit for May, an exquisite silk taffeta wedding dress, was worn by Alvine Augusta Voss for her wedding in February 1883, at the Lutheran Church in Marton. Come along to the informal fashion talk and learn more about this dress, and the craftsmanship and fashion of the late 19th century.

No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated.
