It was donated to the Museu de Angra do Hero\u00edsmo by a family member and is part of the exhibition \u201cDo Mar e da Terra\u2026 uma hist\u00f3ria no Atl\u00e2ntico.\u201d<br data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"448\"\/>The choice of black, which may seem unusual today, was long common, as the color was considered both elegant and austere, and also highly versatile. A black silk dress was what we would now call a wardrobe essential, often a woman\u2019s finest dress, capable of serving multiple functions, from mourning to formal occasions.<br data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"771\"\/>It was only in the mid-19th century that Queen Victoria popularized white as the ideal color for brides, wearing a stunning white satin dress overlaid with Honiton lace and a veil of the same bobbin lace, as a strategy to revitalize that sector of the English textile industry. In 1854, Pope Pius IX established the paradigm that fashion had been imposing, associating the bride\u2019s white attire with the cult of the Immaculate Conception and the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text | Ana Almeida \/ Maria Assun\u00e7\u00e3o Melo<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-48.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12502 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-48.jpg 630w, https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-48-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a long time, a wedding dress could be any dress of any color, new if the bride had some means, but not intended to be worn solely on the wedding day.The dress highlighted here was worn by Leonisa Rosado de Sousa Roxo (1878\u20131932) on the occasion of her marriage on July 4, 1900.
