Chadwick's Introduces Bridal Collection

Chadwick's, the Boston-based mail order apparel company, has introduced a Bridal Collection that features wedding gowns priced starting at $99. Outdoor brides need to remember that grass stains, dirt, tears, and other environmental damage are very real possibilities when you wear a white gown in the great outdoors. You'll be far less heartbroken if you've only spent hundreds of dollars on a gown, not thousands.
