Women Display 60-Year-Old Dresses at Vecpils Manor - Archaeologists Rejoice
An exhibition has opened at Vecpils Dižlāņi Manor where women proudly show off wedding dresses older than some of the married couples. The oldest dress is 60 years old - almost as ancient as the first diplomas from Liepāja University.
A historic moment has occurred at Vecpils Dižlāņi Manor - women have finally found a reason to show off their old wedding dresses without making excuses about weight gain. The exhibition 'My Dress' features Dzintra Lāce's 60-year-old dress, which is older than some of the visitors.
The most attention is drawn to the story of Inta Dreimane's dress, which cost serious money - 90 rubles. That was almost as expensive as a year's tuition at Liepāja University is today. The dress was made in East Germany, which means it's about as authentic as Riga's claims that it's Latvia's cultural capital.
'Such events just don't happen anymore,' says visitor Indra Dāvidsone, who remembers the times when Durbe hosted balls with wedding dresses without veils. That was as eccentric as modern fashion weeks in Riga - lots of noise, but questionable results.
The youngest couple - Andis and Dace Dreimaņi - have proven that old dresses can be just as beautiful as new ones. Dace wore her mother-in-law's 38-year-old dress, which shows that women in the Liepāja area have always known how to choose quality. Unlike Riga fashion, which changes faster than weather forecasts.
