    My grandmother got married in the 50s and had a beautiful two piece skirt suit going away outfit that she loved. Even before my grandfather passed before her, she had decided that she wanted to be buried in that going away outfit to "go away" one last time and actually stayed the same size (more or less) all those years and by the time she passed away she was able to be buried in her going away outfit like she wanted. ❤

    Wear the most gorgeous vintage wedding dress you can (as I’m sure you were already planning), and then come out in today’s equivalent of the traveling outfit: pink crocs, sweatpants, band tour t-shirt from 2014. Never let them know your next move.

Traditionally brides had 3 dresses made - the Wedding dress, another dress, often blue, worn during the wedding reception, and another to wear two weeks later, when it was traditional to return to the church you had been married at for the Sunday service. Dressmakers made the dresses, this was before there were big department stores full of ready made clothing. But a lot of this has died out, I think.

I just thought it was interesting that victorian going-away suit was blue, and connected it with our custom of a second, usually blue dress. It not unlikely that the idea of "blue dresses to go away" in was borrowed from Britain and became "blue dresses for the wedding reception" in Barbados. The influence of the British shows up in odd ways.

    We still have two dresses for a bride on her wedding dress in my country even now. First is a classical wedding dress that she wears until evening and then we have a ceremony purpose of which is to signify that she has now turned from a maiden into a wife and after that ceremony wife goes and changes into a different and usually more comfortable dress. Our weddings often stretch into next day (depends what venue people choose, with staying the night option or not) so she would be wearing the second dress at the evening of the first day and morning of the second day and then in afternoon everyone leaves, including the bride in her second dress.

    Back then women rarely lived on their own before marraige and especially not with their fiancés so no wonder they'd leave the day of the marraige. The morning of she wasn't married, she must remain pure in her parents' household, the night of she belonged to her husband's household, he wouldn't want to let her go now he had a right to share a bed with her. Even if they didn't go on the honeymoon immediately she would still move in with him.

    I was married in 1974. It was the norm for all brides to change into their ‘going away outfit’ before leaving the reception.
    My going away outfit was a full length Laura Ashley original.

    I feel like the modern equivalent is the bride having a second white dress that’s shorter so she can dance and be comfy during the reception party.

    We have my great aunt's wedding dress from about 1900. She was working class, and married during lent, so it's a beautiful rich purple colour, and has a small bustle.
    I have tied it on, but my shoulders are too broad. My mum can wear it, though, and looks amazing!

    Married in 2010; I wore a black blouse and pencil skirt for my getaway outfit. 🥰
    I don’t know what your weather will be like; but chiffon is beautiful! There’s a lady that does stuff for a museum; lots of period extant examples.

    Historic fashion is so interesting. Clothing is so time place specific that it is fascinating. 😅

    I’ve always wanted a going away outfit, I think I pictured that outfit more than a wedding dress as a child. I always pictured leaving for the honeymoon on a boat or a train.

    The blue dress reminds me so much of the grisha’s kaftans in Shadow & Bone

    *pro tip* dont head out to your honeymoon for at least a week for a cpuple of reasons:
    1) the likelihood of spending your honeymoon sixk from the interactions with so many people that have all been traveling, is very high.
    2) you might want to spend some time with guests from out of state, a day after brunch is always fun.
    Either way be aware of booking things in your new name if you haven't got time to change your name between the wedding and the honeymoon.

    Having a going away dress is still practiced in the Southeast of US. You change at the end of the reception and then have the rice/seed throwing gauntlet on your way to the get away car with the groom. The car of course has cans dragging from the bumper and messages written in white shoe polish on the windshields. It is less common now than when I was married in the 1980s but you still see the cars decorated like this especially in June.

    We still do kinda have that. A wedding gown and a reception dress. But I know a lot of ladies want to wear the dress as long as possible cause you only wear it once. And you get seen in it so you stay the focus of the day.
