The ‘latest thing’ in bridal fashion, 1967

"Frilly culottes are the latest thing for the bride who dares to be different. Instead of the traditional veil, a bonnet and wide cloak of the same frilly lace."
[Evening Independent - Feb 3, 1967]

I think she looks a bit like Big Bird.

I was going to poo-poo this ensemble until I saw the shoes which were just so too-too that I had to give it two thumbs up! 😕

Did they have bunny ears in 1967? We didn't have dollar stores then, but maybe at the five and dime.... I think she needs bunny ears. Like this: http://www.wellpromo.com/upload/upimg91/Plush-Satin-Bunny-Ears-Headban-125691.jpg

This is what happens to little girls' "rhumba panties" (aka "fancy pants" in our household) when they grow up and get married.
