| Object History | Gown from trousseau of Mrs. Andrew Chevalier (née Leila Abi Leonard) Woods. |
| Curatorial Statement | Although modern weddings rarely include a trousseau, for centuries the bride's practice of bringing clothing and household items to her new home was essential. Marriage was often the first time a young woman would have lived outside of her parents' home, and her trousseau prepared her for her new role as wife. Today, the bridal shower stands in place of the trousseau. |
