Wedding dress worn by Diana Fitzgerald on her wedding to Samuel Kelly at Christ Church Cathedral in Grafton on 7 April 1979. The outfit was made by the bride's mother, Margaret Fitzgerald, who, though she made the hood to match the dress, said she would not attend if the bride wore the hood instead of the veil.

Margaret Fitzgerald was a dressmaker in Grafton and known for sewing many debutante and wedding dresses in the 1960s and 1970s.
