In this exhibition, entitled The Maltese Bride: 19th \u2013 20th century bridal wear in Malta<\/em>, five wedding dresses from the national textiles collection are being exhibited at the Inquisitor\u2019s Palace \u2013 National Museum of Ethnography, in Birgu. The gowns date back to the 19th and 20th century and one of them, worn first in 1979, was donned for a second time in 2001 by the original bride\u2019s daughter.<\/p>

The earliest exhibit is a silk lam\u00e8 handmade wedding dress from the first half of the 19th century. A black blouse and skirt bought in 1917, a 1952 satin wedding dress sewn by the bride\u2019s mother and embroidered by the bride herself, and a 1965 wedding dress complete with veil, created by a dressmaker, are also on display. The fifth gown is a 1979 creation, complete with a hooded cape, designed and sewn by the bride and her mother. This dress was worn again by the bride\u2019s daughter on her own wedding day 22 years later.<\/p>

The exhibition is further enhanced through two interviews \u2013 one with the son of the 1917 bride and another one with the bride whose dress was worn by herself and her daughter.<\/p>

Wedding dress styles and fabrics varied considerably over the years, as attested by this exhibition. Telecommunications, the advent of photography, printing of fashion and needlecraft books, magazines and patterns, as well as the manufacture and production of various fabrics and haberdashery items, all left their mark. Besides fashion trends, other factors that influenced bridal preferences included the bride\u2019s family\u2019s socio-economic, religious and financial status, or the bride\u2019s personal situation, such as being orphaned or widowed.<\/p>

The exhibition runs until July 2024. Its launch coincides with Birgufest, happening on the 13th and the 14th of October in Birgu. On Saturday 14th, as part of Birgufest, the Inquisitor\u2019s Palace and Fort St Angelo will be offering extended opening hours and a combo ticket for both sites will be available at only \u20ac3. The ticket may only be bought at the door.<\/p>
