Happy memories on show: Pauline Richardson donated her mum Peggy’s beautiful wedding dress to Tavistock Museum. (Iliffe) One of the stand-out new pieces on display at Tavistock Museum is a beautiful wartime wedding dress with an emotive and interesting story. Pauline Richardson kindly donated mum Peggy’s long white dress to the museum’s extensive fashion collection in honour of her mother. Fascinatingly, the dress was partly made of parachute silk, from World War Two stock.
