Wedding dress with high Edwardian neckline
In the 1960s, fashion parades played an important role in the promotion of a designer. There was an active network of fashion promoters who arranged larger public parades. Paddy Walker was one of these promoters, and her daughter Michal Walker started modelling in her mother's parades at an early age. This wedding dress by Babs Radon was the finale in a show held at the 246 Shopping Centre on Queen Street in February 1968.
