Dress of the Week: Susanne Niersbach Tossing

This dress was worn by Susanne A. Niersbach (1912-1994) for her wedding to Edward M. Tossing (1907-1970), which took place at St. Nicholas Church on Saturday, May 30, 1936, at 9:00 a.m. A Beacon-News article at the time reported that the bride “wore a satin gown of pale blush pink fashioned with a long train.  The neckline was caught with pearl beads, likewise, the sunburst design on the fitted waist, and the nunlike sleeves added to the charming effect.  Her long tulle veil, which matched in color, was coronet style with pearl beads.  She carried a shower bouquet of Bride’s roses and lilies of the valley and a pearl rosary.”
