In the 1850s, the meaning behind a woman wearing a light pink wedding dress was due to a papal decree. Pope Pius IX had stated that for women who were not virgins on the day of their nuptials, the traditional white wedding gown should be swapped out for something of a different hue.

Condition: Used. The only defect it has are light stains around the silver settings with the diamonds inside. Silver corrosion has apparently stained the fabrics around the settings and a number of other spots around the dress, which under close inspection appear as localized coffee-colored spots. Dry cleaning was unable to remove those stains.
Original known owner: Unknown, presumably French. What is known to us about the dress is based on information made available to the showcase owner by the auction in Paris where the dress was acquired.
