<\/p>\nOne family has withstood the passing of time by keeping a cherished custom that dates back more than seven decades, <\/p>\n
even when fashions come and go. A classic bridal gown that has been handed down from bride to bride has come to represent love, family, and enduring bonds.<\/p>\n
On September 16, 1950, Adele Larson wore a satin gown with a mandarin collar, a lace panel gracing the front and back, and tiny, <\/p>\n
delicate buttons as she entered the church to wed Roy Stoneber. The outfit was found by Adele in Chicago’s renowned Marshall Field’s retail store. <\/p>\n
She had no idea that this beautiful dress would go on to become a priceless heritage that future generations would love. <\/p>\n
Despite the $100.75 price tag appearing modest by today’s standards, it possessed tremendous sentimental and traditional significance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Elly Larson, Adele’s sister, also made the decision to put on the treasured garment when she was getting ready to say \u2018I do\u2019 to John Milton in June 1953. <\/p>\n
Elly rejected her mother’s advice to buy a new wedding dress because she already owned Adele’s. The clothing thus took on a new meaning as a representation of love and family harmony.<\/p>\n
When Sharon Larson married John Frank in May 1969, she followed in the sisters’ footsteps as the third bride to wear the dress. When asked about her choice, <\/p>\n
Sharon stressed the pride and excitement she experienced while wearing the garment, which she first saw when she was five years old and again when she was eight. <\/p>\n
It wasn’t a matter of duty to her; rather, it was a celebration of shared traditions and family ties. It was a delightful and sensible decision that artfully merged the past and current.<\/p>\n
The subsequent generation was the next leg of the dress’s historical journey. Adele Stoneberg’s daughter <\/p>\n
Sue Stoneberg honored the gown and the close relationship she had with her mother by walking down the aisle in it in 1982. <\/p>\n
When Carol Milton, Elly’s daughter, wed Lawrence Zmuda in 1990, she donned the attire. Carol made a decision that <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
was both easy and firm because she had a great deal of respect for the women who had worn it before her. <\/p>\n
According to Bride, Carol stated, \u2018I never gave it a second thought to get any other dress than the one I had.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I simply loved my mom, my cousin, and my aunts. Simply said, it was an expression of, \u2018I’m wearing what they wore.\u2019 Simply said, it wasn’t a decision.<\/p>\n
Carol’s sister Jean Milton experienced the same draw of the family custom and decided to wear the dress the following year when she married Tom Ellis. <\/p>\n
Julie Frank Mackey, Sharon’s daughter and Adele’s niece, wore the outfit in February 2013 while paying homage to her ancestors’ contributions to fashion. <\/p>\n
Julie adorned the dress with a ribbon hem and an open neckline to make it distinctively her own while yet recognizing its ageless beauty.<\/p>\n
