Madame Heymans Besselink, 1902

On the 2nd of June 1902 Elisabeth P. Fok Fraterman married Jan van Eijck in Utrecht. Her fashionable wedding-dress was made by the renowned atelier of mrs Heymans Besselink who – according to tradition – ordered the lace for the wedding-dress in Bruxelles. No expanses were spared and for the skirt alone 11 meters of satin duchesse was used. This silk is of old the fabric for wedding-dresses.
