London, 1987
Hat: Shirley Hex
Francesca Oddi also commissioned her bridesmaids' dresses from John Galliano. In a tradition dating back to the 19th century, the three younger girls were dressed alike while the eldest bridesmaid had a more elaborate outfit. The design of the bridesmaids' dresses echoed the cut and decoration of the bride's dress, creating a visual unity.
Dress: man-made fabric
Hat: chiffon trimmed with silk and chiffon roses
