If the Dress Fits…

Baby strollers, jewelry, cameras, cell phones and “clothes galore.”  These are the usual items that can be found in the Lost & Found at Mystic Seaport said Museum security guard of seven years, Jim.

Well, something a tad more elegant joined the abandoned group this past Valentine’s Day weekend. Something ivory, intricately beaded and bearing a fluttery, chiffon train.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Love is in the air at Mystic Seaport…

Looking awfully lonely in our Communications office.

A faithful Mystic Seaport security guard found the lovely wedding dress discarded in the Museum’s South parking lot early Sunday morning, February 15.  Safely stored inside of a plastic garment bag, the gown is in excellent condition with its size tag still intact. 

Both of the brides that celebrated their Valentine’s Day nuptials at Seamen’s Inne have not claimed the beauty. So alas, the questions arise… Was Julia Roberts back in Connecticut, this time filming a sequel to Runaway Bride? Did a blushing bride use our parking lot to change into her honeymoon wear? Is someone organizing some kind of extreme scavenger hunt? We want to know!

If the dress is yours, or if you have any idea of whose it might be, please email us at news@mysticseaport.org. Correctly identify the size of the dress and we’ll get it safely back into your hands.

And in the meantime, we promise not to take it along on any maiden voyages.
