A bridal trousseau is a collection of items assembled before a woman's wedding day. It can include anything from linens for her new home to outfits for the ceremony. This silk and lace bed jacket, a waist-length robe for sitting in bed, may have been part of Virginia Palmer Bradfield's trousseau. She and Harold Lee Ward married in 1918.
