Hardly! It is half a century ago now when I married young!
I DID keep it for many years, even had it altered so that I could wear it again, and indeed I did wear it again to a ball however, then I put on weight and it no longer fitted me.
It had a lot of lace on the front so think it must have looked like a wedding dress even after altering!
I think I kept it for about 18 years. What a shame I didnt hang on to it - no idea why, but a shame! Actually I think it started to discolour and I still have the original receipt for it - cost a fortune.
