An Enduring Symbol of Love
In the past, a woman began preparing her trousseau at an early age by sewing clothes in anticipation of her marriage. While the concept of a trousseau has little practical relevance today, shopping for the wedding night and the honeymoon is still an enduring wedding ritual. Whether it is a dozen bikinis for Bali, evening clothes for Paris or investment dressing for a new job, the implications are obvious: new clothes for a new life.
