In 1942, the United States imposed a rationing system similar to the one Great Britain had implemented the previous year, limiting, among other things, the amount of fabric that could be used in a single garment.

When you are thinking about how to minimize the cost of your very own wedding, why not opt to wear simple wedding dresses? If you are the kind of soon-to-be-bride who wants to have a simple yet elegant wedding, then the first thing you need to do is find simple wedding dresses that will make you look fabulous. As the old saying goes “simplicity is beauty”, so staying modest is the surest way to be elegant.
