My mother's wedding dress had roped satin spaghetti straps and that was in 1938. The dress had a VERY see through lace coat which flowed to make the train of the dress.

Note: She had zip...nothing was showing...There wasn't much to show anyways. Heredity sucks.

I love wedding dresses, and veils, the flowers...everything. I could enjoy looking at dresses and styles all evening...your mom's dress sounds lovely. Sophisticated...I love the retro styles. I got married in 1982...my dress/veil kinda shout 'her, this was a 1980s wedding!' LOL...

Just as an aside...I read that Jenna's 'attendants' (Barbara being her Maid of Honor) were wearing different dresses (that flatter the wearer) in 'Texas wildflower colors.' Do you remember the 'rainbow weddings' of the 80s? The ones where each bridesmaid (and her groomsman) wore a different pastel color...so when whe all lined up we looked like sherbert run amok? I was a 'professional' bridesmaid for a while, and when my daughter was little she played dress up with all those dresses (you know, the ones 'you can get shortened and wear again!). I missed my chance...I could have written "27 Dresses."
