There’s nothing more exciting for a bride to be than saying yes to the dress, but it’s hard to deny that it can often be the most nerve-wracking part of planning your wedding day.
That’s why Julia Cain should consider herself a very lucky bride. Not only did this newlywed not have to search high and low for her dream dress, it fell into her lap for free…and she barely needed any alterations!
While most women wouldn’t be caught dead in a wedding gown from decades past, Julia felt privileged and beautiful in a dress worn by both her mother and grandmother.

Phyllis Jo Raymond first wore the beautiful gown to marry Julia’s grandfather, Harold Traver, who walked her down the aisle at their 1950’s wedding.

Thirty years later, Harold walked his daughter, Susan Kay, down the aisle in the exact same lace frock… only this time, Susan added an extra lace panel to the jacket to fit her shoulders and eliminated the hoop skirt to add more length on the dress, according to the Huffington Post.

“My grandmother had fantastic taste, and it’s no surprise her gown is still as spot-on as it was in the 1950s,” Julia told the Huffington Post of the dress she wore to her March 2016 wedding, 63 years after her grandmother, and 33 years after her mother.

Although Julia altered the dress to remove the sleeves, lower the neckline and back, and add in a satin waist, she says she never felt pressure to wear the gown on her special day.
However, the best part of this story might just be how Julia’s grandpa got to walk all three of his girls down the aisle, since his son-in-law passed away years ago.

“Wearing a dress worn by so many women I love was the icing on the cake,” Julia said.
