    Hoping someone can pinpoint the era of this dress...I'm thinking 1920's -30's?

    I agree with Mary that it's later than 20's-30's. Could even get into the 50's. Simple, timeless style.

    Late 40s-60s - possibly with an heirloom (lace) veil. Small chance that is is as late as early 1960s due to the shape of the skirt, but the "whole" doesn't say that to me............

    My sister was married in 1959. This is very similar to her wedding dress.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I agree with the era... what does the photographer's name in the bottom right corner say? In the last photo it looks like it might be Bradford something?

    Thanks... do you know where it was taken? Was thinking maybe the photographer could be researched to see their years in business.

    Just in a quick search I found several "hits" on the photographer's name, with reproductions of other wedding photos. Looks like they are from the 1940s through 1960s.

    It's not spelled Bachrach? He was a famous portrait photographer in Boston back in the day.http://www.bachrachportraits.com/
    My cousin got married in 1959 and her dress had those same short sleeves.

    The "h" Bachrach did all my grand and great-grandparents portraits in Brooklyn, too.
