For most brides, choosing the perfect dress for their big day can be one of the trickiest parts of the whole process. For Abigail Kingston, however, the decision was easy – even if her dress had already been worn 10 times before!

When she ties the knot with fiance Jason Curtis in October, Abigail will be the 11th woman in her family to wear the same beautiful wedding gown, a 120-year-old dress handed down throughout the generations of her family tree.

The heirloom was first worn by Abigail Kingston’s great-great-grandmother and it has since become a treasured family heirloom over the years, passed down through the women of her family.

“It’s one thing that I wore it, but for it to have been your great-great-grandmother’s dress is just incredible,” she said.
