Close Up brings you the incredible story of a wedding dress that's stood the test of time for over a century.
With summer comes the wedding season, and with the wedding season comes the fascination over the bride and her dress.
But there is one dress that stands out above the rest - it's been worn by eight brides from one family over the past 130 years. It's a hand-sewn silk gown that's seen two divorces, two tragic deaths, and a few happily ever afters, and it's now proudly on display in Upper Hutt.
Close Up went along and had a look at the dress.
