Throughout the world, many are isolating themselves at home amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting at home, however, loses its spark quite quickly, and its necessary to find something interesting to pass the time. So why not put on your old wedding dress?
When bestselling American author Curtis Sittenfeld posted this picture in her old wedding dress, a trend was born. She captioned the image, “Social distancing Day 12: Today my kids wanted me to wear my wedding dress at lunch & I couldn’t think of a reason not to.'”
