Description:This satin wedding dress was worn by Margaret Emma Flatley (née Cope) who was born at 113 Liverpool Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1907. The satin fabric would have clung to the body emulating every curve and demonstrates the shift in women’s fashion from the flat boyish shaped clothing of the 1920s to the figure hugging glamorous curves of the 1930s fashion.
