Fashion 1960s: Getting into the paper when you Marry. Wedding gowns are usually kept top

Fashion 1960s: Getting into the paper when you Marry. Wedding gowns are usually kept top secret. But this one is rather special - it is made of paper. It was designed and stitched by 22-year-old art student Louise Miller for her wedding in August to painter Paul Allcoat. Made in white crepe paper, the dress has a detachable hood, trumpet sleeves and is covered in flowers. Louise, of Vardens Road, Clapham Junction, London, also made the multi-coloured muff from crepe paper. But she would not break all traditions and be seen wearing her paper wedding dress before the big day. So model Sue Lynn tried it on. And her verdict? " Its warm, comfortable and makes me feel very elegant, " she said. Sue Lynn in the paper wedding gown. July 1968 P017523
