Gowns Added to Display in Southwest Museum Exhibit
The Southwest Museum at Texas Tech showcases wedding gowns from 1830 to the 1960s, including a 1910 wedding cake fragment. The exhibit traces evolving styles from early two piece outfits through the Gibson Girl era, the 1900s trousseau, Roaring Twenties fashion, and the 1960s empire-line trends, with gowns donated by local families and Hemphill-Wells.
