The Bride Wears a Family Heirloom Wedding Dress Passed down 8 Times

This wedding gown has been worn a lot!

The same gown has been worn by eight women in the same family for the past seven decades. It started with the late Adele Larson, who purchased the satin gown for her wedding in 1950 for just $100.

Ellie then gave it to her sister Ellie, who said “I do”1953. It was handed on to Sharon in 1969, sixteen years later.

The eighties and nineties saw the second generation of brides wearing the dress, with Larson’s daughter Sue in 1982 and Ellie’s daughters Carol in 1990 and Jean in 1991.

The dress was worn by Sharon’s daughter, Julie, in 2013.

Last month, Serena, 72 years after the tradition began, became the eighth bride and the third generation of the family heirloom to be worn at her wedding.

Stitched in blue inside the dress are all of the women’s names and wedding dates.

“My dress was my something borrowed, my something blue, my something old,”Serena stated.

So far, happy marriages have been made by the dress. The ladies wish that the tradition will continue for all time.
