Happy couple: Abby, who is set to wed her fiancé, Jason Curtis, on in Pennsylvania on October 17, said she always knew she wanted to get married in the dress

Abby, who will be the eleventh bride to don the gown, will marry Jason at the Lake House Inn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She will wear a new dress for the ceremony and change into the heirloom only for the cocktail hour because it’s ‘very, very fragile’, she said. The bride will also wear her great-grandmother’s ring and her grandmother’s locket. Throughout the wedding venue, there will be framed photos of each of the previous 10 brides wearing the historic gown.

A twelfth bride in the family has since shown interest in wearing the dress on her wedding day.

‘It’s not just the dress that’s been handed down’, Leslie said. ‘It’s the love.’
