1890 Wedding Dress; American. Worn by Mary Addison Bybee and designed by Louis Valentin.

“One of the most elegant private weddings given here was that of Miss Mary Bybee, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Addison Bybee, and Mr. Walter L. Millikin, of Boston, Mass., which took place yesterday at noon at the Denison. Parlor No. 3 was reserved for the ceromony, and it was exquisitly decorated with ferns and roses, used in the greatest profusion, transforming the room into a bower of loveliness. With so beautiful a setting the ceromony took place. Rev. Dr. Parker, of the Episcopal Church at Ipswich, Mass., a brother-in-law of Mr. Millikin, pronounced the impressive service of the church. The bride's beautiful dress was white satin, trimmed with orange blossoms. She wore a veil of tulle, and carried a bouquet of Bride roses. Miss Bybee was attended by her sister, Miss Jessie Bybee, who wore a dainty gown of cream-brown crepe du chien.”
