Wedding Wear 1931
A. The mother of the bride is wearing a gown made of lace and chiffon. A cowl neck and bell-shaped sleeves lend smartness to this dress.
B. This lovely bridesmaid is wearing a frock of chiffon with a little jacket to match. The frill of the jacket repeats the one on the skirt. The frill also trims the sleeves of the dress.
C. For the bride the V-necked dress is made of silk lace. The short sleeve bolero jacket barely touches the waist. The close fitting dress flares below the hipline.
D. The bride is dressed in classic ivory satin. The hiptine is molded, and the wide revers reveal cream Alencon lace. The close-fitting cap is also made of Alencon lace from which falls a mist of net. A single strand of pearls adorns the lovely bride.
E. For this formal wedding, the groom is dressed in tails. With a white double-breasted waistcoat and a stand-up collar on the shirt with wing tips, and an ascot. An opera hat and kid gloves complete his attire.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, born into a wealthy family, could afford the best luxury automobiles. But it was a part of his "everyman" appeal that, when at home, he drove humble cars like this 1929 Ford Model A.
