Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary to Kaitlin Staudt and Michael Polczynski!
Shirley Sensenig and Calvin Staudt, Sr were married 12 Jun 1954 at Hain's Church in Wernersville, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Shirley's wedding dress was a lace over satin, tea-length dress over crinoline with elbow length sleeves and silk cummerbund.
Stored carefully away for 65 years, Shirley gave her wedding dress to her grand-daughter, Kaitlin Staudt to use for her marriage to Michael Polczynski. Kaitlin made a few minor alterations to the dress. She shortened the sleeves to make it more fitting for a mid-summer wedding and added a modern satin belt to the waistline. A side zipper was added to make the dress easier to put on and to protect the fragile fabric. Other than that no alterations were needed as the dress fit Kaitlin perfectly. Genetics won out!
Kaitlin Staudt and Michael Polczynski were married 21 July 2019 at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Kaitlin currently has the wedding dress carefully stored away. Maybe her grand-daughter?

Lovely dress and even lovelier brides. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure! It must have been heartwarming for Shirley to have a granddaughter who treasured her gown enough to wear on HER special day! May Michael and Kait enjoy as many wonderful years, together - as Calvin and Shirley have done.
