Bridal Fashion at Mark Foy's

A series of brides and bridesmaids enter this Mark Foy's fashion parade as if stepping out of a gilt-edge picture frame, before smiling for the camera.

This silent footage, likely from the late 1940s, was filmed at the department store's 'Piazza' building on Liverpool Street in Sydney.
