Wedding Gown History

President Lyndon B. Johnson escorts his daughter, Lynda Bird, to the East Room for her wedding to Marine Corps Captain Charles S. Robb, on December 9, 1967. She chose an empire sheath gown in a winter-weight peau satin. The border of heavy lace running vertically up the front of the gown created an apron-like effect. Trendy at the time, was her detachable Watteau train that fell from her shoulders. Topping it off, she wore a pill box cap with a blusher and very long pouf veil. #celebrity
