| Sarara Vintage Styling of Ruby Becker's Wedding Dress, 1927. Shary Connella photography. My quest for great art deco era clothing and jewelry has yielded up a find. Whenever interesting or well preserved I try to share these acquisitions here with you.  Sarara Vintage Styling of Ruby Becker's Wedding Dress, 1927. Shary Connella photography. This is an especially sentimental little treasure in my eyes, a 1920s wedding dress, prepared and archived by it's original owner complete with graduation announcement, ostrich feathers, lace hankie, and silk floral pin. |

On the top of the box we see a label pertaining to the original box seems to have been reused. It has the name Warren P. Fulton and Frannie Wyoming on it, possibly the date of 35... The note inside states the wedding date as 3-17-1927. The same year of her graduation per the card inside. |

| Graduation Card image, Sarara Vintage. The style of this dress and accessories is truly flapper in character. Many people describe 20s dresses as "flapper" when they technically are not "flapper" in design. This dress has the shorter length, drop waist and long sash as well as the original ostrich feathers. The two feathers used in our photographs were bent in a circle at their ends most likely pinned in the hair or on a band which was not preserved. We placed the ostrich feathers to the side sort of angled and pinned in the hair.From the style of the dress is seems that Ruby Becker had a flapper wedding in 1927! Not much is known about her life, indeed all I can find so far is just that is was from Wyoming probably Frannie and graduated from high school in 1927. Frannie Wyoming today has a population of about 200. I would love to find a pic of our Ruby but for now let's enjoy her wonderful wedding dress.
